Company press release.
Half-mile side-by-side roll racing event will set the stage in a big way for the 2014 The Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb!
Shift-S3ctor and www.revvolution.com in conjunction with The Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, are proud to announce the first event of its kind, Pikes Peak Airstrip Attack, at the Colorado Springs Airport June 27th and 28th, 2014 as part of Pikes Peak Speedweek.
Airstrip Attack is a half-mile side-by-side roll race and trap speed competition featuring more than two hundred of the fastest, most powerful street cars in the nation. The Pikes Peak Airstrip Attack is currently the only event in the country where participants have the opportunity to come together at a venue of this size and importance while competing for the title of the Mile High Victor. Thousands of automotive and speed enthusiasts are expected to be in attendance as dozens of the industry's top manufacturers, personalities and performance and lifestyle organizations come out to participate, support and exhibit at the event.
'The current Airstrip Attack record is held by Stacey Barnett of Underground Racing in his twin-turbo Lamborghini Gallardo with a stunning top speed of 224.9 MPH. While we're not sure we will be seeing those types of speeds at 6,000 ft above sea level, we certainly expect the level of competition and excitement to be heightened. There's nowhere else in this country that you can secure the title of the Mile High Victor; and the ability to hold on to that record until next year's event would be a great accomplishment,' said Shift-S3ctor co-founder Ryan Fisher.
'It's not just about the competition; it's about the enthusiasts, the personalities, the cars, the businesses, the media, the lifestyle and culture,' said Shift-S3ctor co-founder Jason Huang.
Pikes Peak Airstrip Attack takes place the Friday and Saturday leading up to the world's premier hill climb and the nation's second oldest motor sports event behind the famed Indy 500, The Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, which competitors racing to the summit of the 14,100-foot on America's Mountain, began in 1916 and celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2016.
Friday kicks off with a day of open runs and practice, qualifying and the first inaugural Pikes Peak Airstrip Attack trap speed competition. As competitors record their top speeds throughout the day, the top three in each class are awarded the respective Pikes Peak Airstrip Attack class Trophies.
Saturday commences with more qualifying and grudge runs and leading directly into the renowned roll race competition. In this bracketed competition, participants are matched up based on their qualifying speeds and compete head-to-head for the respective classes' title of Mile High Victor.
