TICKET PRICES
Last year much like other motorsports events across the country, liability insurance premiums increased significantly, along with inflation and other rising costs. We reviewed all fees we charge spectators, competitors, vendors, and sponsors. We work hard to ensure access under increasingly stringent requirements from the US Forest Service and know that spectators have felt this pressure and experienced these changes. We want this race to continue for another 100 years and that can only happen if we operate in a financially responsible and sustainable way. We appreciate the understanding and support from the BEST and MOST LOYAL FANS IN MOTORSPORTS!

FRAMEABLE MOMENTS
WITH LARRY CHEN
| |

“I've been shooting Ken Block since 2009, and I was there for all 12 days of the Climbkhana shoot on Pikes Peak. When he told me he was going to drive the event in a tube chassis Porsche I was blown away. Unfortunately, things didn't go so well for the team as they blew an engine on this exact run. As he was passing me in this photo it was barely able to turn its wheels at all. Despite that I was just glad I was able to get a shot of him driving during race week as I will never be able to do that ever again. I miss him dearly every single day, but his legacy lives on forever.”
