Travis Tollett at Pikes Peak – Don’t Call it a Comeback – Part II

John and Travis coming off the line side by side in 2006. I was finally getting the Pink car settled into it’s new garage here at my home in Benicia, CA when it occurred to me that 2011 might have been the last year Travis rides with me up Pikes Peak.  I had already committed the car to Anthony for 2012 and I had a feeling that the Race Director would be less than enthusiastic... Read More
