Road racing MCs at Pikes Peak
With the road being fully paved, they have allowed RR MCs to participate.
This is on my to do list now.

I saw some Ducatis listed high in the results. Amazing considering it is the first year. Were they Panigales or 1198Rs?

That is fairly intense.

I hope to get out to Miller but it would likely just be a YCS event. From Glenn's write up on a other forum, it seems like a good bit of logistical support is needed and they need to refine their classes for us sportbike RR folks. Still, it is super cool and on the I wana do that list. I'll likely never ride IOM but this seems possible.

Very neat and thanks for sharing the vid.
Guessing it would be a bit brain fuzzy to know every corner but maybe for some familiar reference points. Then you have the center line paint to contend with when really down and dirty. Technical Q - do the injected bikes constantly change to altitude? Any supercharger's running?

Awesome stuff; thanks for sharing. I had heard it was going to be paved to the top "someday", but I would have never guessed so soon.
Now, of course, if they were racing downhill, a Road King would have won...
