Rally Ready Motorsports wins again at Pikes Peak! Second consecutive Pikes Peak Open Division Win for Carapetyan and Rally Ready
"This place always gets somebody, you have to bring your A-game" says Dave Carapetyan at 5:00 a.m. from the top of Colorado's Pikes Peak during pre-race practice. It's his 5th year here and he's defending a title and a big win from last year while keeping things on the safe side of a very deadly limit. Dave and his crew are preparing to race up a 14,110 ft tall mountain on a 12.4 mile course of mixed pavement and gravel with few guardrails and sheer cliffs. It's the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, one of the oldest and most prestigious motor-sport events in the world, and it's his for the taking. Slick Auto Baby Monster sets a track record at Willow Springs Raceway
We brought our Baby Monster Miata out to Willow Springs International Raceway (WSIR) (Rosamond, CA) with Speed Ventures for a day (Saturday) of drifting at the WSIR Balcony and a day (Sunday) of open track / time attack at the WSIR Big Track. Of course, we were not eligible to compete in the Corvette Challenge with our non-Corvette vehicle, so the title of this blog entry is not entirely true. We did however set the fastest lap time of the weekend compared to all other cars, and walk away with a Miata Challenge Time Attack Unlimited Class win at a blazingly-fast lap time of 1:29.637 in 100F weather. |
