COLORADO SPRINGS – Shift-S3ctor and Revvolution, along with the Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb (PPIHC), are proud to announce the first event of its kind, the 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 Stacy 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 feet above sea level, we certainly expect the level of competition and excitement to be heightened.
Pikes Peak Airstrip Attack takes place the Friday and Saturday leading up to the world’s premier, and the nation’s second oldest motor sports event behind the famed Indy 500, the Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. 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 two in each class are awarded the respective Pikes Peak Airstrip Attack class trophies.
Saturday commences with more qualifying and grudge runs, 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 class’s title of Mile High Victor.
“Pikes Peak Speedweek and the event organizers, Revvolution and Shift-S3ctor, are proud to be fully supported and endorsed by the Sports Corp, Broadmoor Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, and to be an official part of the Pikes Peak Speedweek,”.
