/// StudioRSR - Pikes Peak - Project Silver Speed A90

[StudioRSR]

Earlier this year, we found out we were invited and accepted to compete in our First-ever Pikes Peak Hillclimb!! Never in our wildest dreams would we have ever thought we'd be able to participate and compete at Pikes Peak, so we had to take advantage of the opportunity and continue to evolve our 2020 Supra from a streetable time-attack car into a Pikes Peak worthy build.

Even more exciting, we were stoked to be the first MKV Supra to compete at Pikes Peak!

With a packed schedule here at the shop, and months of anticipation and waiting on parts, we had less than 7 days to build & prep our 2020 Toyota Supra from a Street-legal time attack car, into the first MK5 Supra to compete at Pikes Peak International Hillclimb. Unfortunately for us, the class we were in meant that our first few runs ever on the mountain were also going to count as our qualifying runs, but our goal this year was just to cross the line on Race Day! With the Pikes Peak rulebook well-covered, it was a gigantic undertaking to not just get the car to Colorado Springs in time for Tech Inspection, but to run the car for the first time with all of the new parts & upgrades in Colorado with no testing. 0 test for the win! (See required Pikes Peak mods & upgrades list below)

Haha that's exactly the feeling the whole time + trying to remember which turns are which. Doesn't help when you have a fear of heights either lol

Yes, it was surreal with the first-ever run and the sunrise with all the different colors in the sky. It was like driving in the old Robin Williams movie "What Dreams May Come"

Got 'em! Lol...
Thank you. Definitely come out next year. The Fan Fest on Friday is an awesome event as well, and not far from Denver. We're jealous of the environment you guys have out there. Beautiful scenery everywhere you look!
