I've driven to the top of Pikes Peak twice in rental cars while on a business trip to COS. All I can say, these guys that race the PEAK are crazy. I was feeling the affects of lack of oxygen at the 10K foot mark and by 12K I had all the classic signs of hypoxia and at the summit we got out of the car to take a photo and I was hardly able to talk.

Scary, but as they say, racing is racing so have fun and be safe.
