Well, most of the team has left Colorado now and starting making our way back home. I think I can speak for us all when I say that Greg and Alexander did an amazing job on Sunday.  The course conditions were challenging – the rain was threatening, and just before the start we heard that…

RACE DAY 8:45AM

Up extra early today – we were at the gate to the mountain before 3:00am, but that wasn’t early enough – there was quite a line to get in. Only competitors could enter before 4:00am, but even so, the line extended to the highway. At first light, the vans are unloaded and the tents set…

EYE ON THE SKY

Alexander Smith, Ducati, Greg Tracy, Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, Spider Grips DucatiBy Chris NazarenusJune 27, 2010

So far today, the sky has been clear, not a cloud to be seen, despite the forecast for thunderstorms today…. The cars are shattering records.  Just a few minutes ago an electric car went off the line with no sound except for the chirp of his tires as he left a slick of rubber at…

SATURDAY NIGHT

Well, once again the Spider Grips Ducati Race Team loaded up very early in the morning, and headed up Pikes Peak for a practice session. Today we were based out of Devil’s Playground.  The full moon was just beginning to set as we drove into the bowl that forms the pit area here. I’ve been…

WEDNESDAY – PIKES PEAK QUALIFYING

Alexander Smith, Ducati, Greg Tracy, Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, Spider Grips DucatiBy Chris NazarenusJune 23, 2010

The alarm went off at 3:00 this morning. We had to be through the gate at Pikes Peak by 3:45am.  Luckily last night we got the vans loaded and prepped so that we could pretty much roll out of bed and jump in them to leave. It is very dark when we unload at the…
