Hi,

Wowsers, that drive is simply awesome.

Thanks for sharing.

I will be in Denver next February so will Pikes Peak be under snow?

The video reminded me when last October, my friend Johanna from Albuquerque, NM drove me in her 2004 Chevrolet Suburban from Durango to Silverton, CO and she is really fast.

In fact I kid her that she used to be a Nascar driver.

I was hanging on for dear life with the sheer drops and only single armco preventing us from an untimely death.

Next year I am going by train to Silverton, it's safer.

We also visited the Unser Racing Museum in ABQ and saw their 'Pikes Peak' cars.

Amazing visit and see my fotos that I took while there.
