Just thought I'd share this new event with you guys.
I know this is not in the "SoCal" area at all, but it's racing news, and some of you may be interested.
This just hit the news wire yesterday...

THE TOYO TIRES REDLINE TIME ATTACK PRESENTED BY HAWK PERFORMANCE BRAKE PADS RACES TO THE CLOUDS AT THE PIKES PEAK INTERNATIONAL HILL CLIMB
Pikes Peak, Colorado, 04/25/2006 - The Toyo Tires REDLINE TIME ATTACK presented by Hawk Performance Brake pads will once again make history in an unprecedented time trial event that will test driver and car alike, with the first ever REDLINE TIME ATTACK at Pike's Peak! Joining forces with the Pike's Peak International Hill Climb, come July 1, 2006, Redline promises to bring the best in time trial action to the Peak's 2.8 mile paved section, in the first point-to-point tarmac-rally-style battle in REDLINE TIME ATTACK's traditionally race-circuit-based time trial series.
No race event in the world presents the unique challenges facing competitors at the Pike's Peak International Hill Climb. Since 1916, this historical event has been soaring over 4000 feet in altitude to the 14,100 foot summit and finish line, placing incredible demands not only on the vehicle, but also on the driver's ability to stay alert and focused despite breathing air thin enough to make seasoned mountain climbers cringe.
Normally reserved for specially prepared cars built to handle the mixed tarmac and gravel surfaces of Pike's Peak, the REDLINE TIME ATTACK will utilize the 2.8 mile paved section of the hill in order to allow competitors to use their street and circuit prepared machines to get a taste of high-altitude excitement. Only 24 slots are available in this unprecedented tarmac rally event, with eight cars being allowed in each drive-train configuration (front-wheel-drive, rear-wheel-drive, all-wheel-drive), so sign up as soon as possible to ensure your position in the roster.
As with all REDLINE TIME ATTACK events, spectators are invited to come watch the intense motorsports action as the fiercest time trial machines and drivers race to the clouds on July 1, 2006 at the Pike's Peak International Hill Climb!
