The road to the summit of Pike's Peak is still predominantly gravel but will be paved over the nect few years; the next phase will turn it into an even 50-50 gravel/asphalt affair.
The've tried to hold a rally around the hillclimb itself but the rest of the event didn't really get off the ground (political issues I presume; they weren't allowed to hold any other stages that deserve the name) so the rally cars entered the hillclimb in the "unlimited class", complete with restrictors and of course the co-drivers as "ballast".
