Sadly, Jess and the 'Cuda are not running the  PPIHC this year. In fact, the classic division was rolled into the Pikes Peak Open division to boost car counts. This has now become a catch all division that has everything from a '69 Camaro to a 2017 Palatav D2 (yea, I was wonder what the heck that was too: https://www.palatov.com/cars/d2/ ) There also is a Howe TA2 Mustang in this group this year along with a Nissan Skyline and some classic Porsches.

The title of this thread should have been "Car porn"

What's fascinating is to see the old "in race" pics.  I remember some of those pics from my bible when I was growing up.. "Mighty Mopars".

95th edition of the Pikes Peak Hillclimb is complete.  Fog, hail, and wet roads forced the finish line to be moved lower down the mountain some, but previous records still manage to stay intact.

The open class, which contains the classic cars now, was won by Peter Cunningham in a 2017 Acura TLX, placing 2nd overall. Second in class was Chris Lennon in a '73 Porsche 911 RSR, placing 25 overall. Third in class and 34th overall went to RJ Gottlieb in his '69 Camaro. Some of you may be more familiar with him and the moniker "Big Red" as this is probably one of, if not the first, pro touring build that has steadily been refined over the years.

Also absent this year was the Hot Rod Magazine Special Viper ACR in the Time Attack 2 class.

Whats interesting to see with the asphalt standard now, is that the unlimited cars no longer are the dominate class with lowest  times on the mountain. The top 5 spots were, Unlimited, PP Open, Open Wheel, Time Attack 1, and Motorcycle.
