Good to know which of the 10 starters made it up Pike's Peak. Actually it is a pretty good mountain road.

The SNM sells a Avanti DVD that has a period silent film of an Avanti climbing Pikes Peak.

I did not get to drive my 76 up Pikes Peak due to it having its own fireworks on the 4th & 5th, so the "back-up" vehicle, my wife's 07 Honda Odyssey made it to the top and back down. All drivers need to keep their eyes on the road as the road has very few guardrails. One Stude we saw go up to the top was a 45-47 1 ton stake bed truck. It must have been in "granny low" the whole 16 miles to the top!
