Leading the field to the start was a turbo-charged V6 Buick Free Spirit pace car driven by racing legend Parnelli Jones. When the dust settled, future Indianapolis 500 icon Rick Mears claimed his first Pikes Peak King of the Mountain title in a Porsche-powered Newman-Draeger open-wheel car with a winning time of 12:11.89, beginning a legacy that would stretch far beyond America's Mountain. | | |
