HaydnH Posted August 13, 2012 Author Posted August 13, 2012 WTF Any idea if hes ok? Apparently from his FB feed (Yuri was the co driver): "I thought I posted already, but Yuri and I are ok. A little beaten up but nothing major. Thank you so much to everyone for the kindness and support! What a wonderful feeling to feel so loved!"

HaydnH Posted August 13, 2012 Author Posted August 13, 2012 Jees !!! Bet their heads are sore. Surprising that there isn't better safety precautions really It sounds like the safety of the cars is pretty good though - that thing looks like its just a roll cage with seats in by the end and they're ok!

JetSet Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 Jees !!! Bet their heads are sore. Surprising that there isn't better safety precautions really I've driven up and obviously down Pike's Peak. There are no safety barriers at at all so definitely not for the faint hearted, in places there are drops of several thousand feet. Going up is pretty scary, I don't think I exceeded 30 and there were at the time sections of graded roads rather than ashpalt. The drive to the top and back is around 50 miles but to give you an idea of how steep it is there is a sign at the bottom saying don't enter unless you have at least half a tank full of gas . At 14,100 feet I believe its the second highest road in The U.S. It costs around $25 to do the drive but the views from the top are stunning Pete Quote
DoogyRev Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 Thats what a roll cage is for Glad they are both ok Quote
