From Travis Tollett – In his own words – the Pikes Peak race. Here is a quick recap video of why Travis’ effort is so monumental. Tech Day Tech had a different feel than years past. Primarily due to the fact that it was located at PPIR which inherently gave the day a more race [...]

Paul DAllenbach

My first year at Pikes Peak as a competitor was 2004.  I was a Amateur quad racer in a field littered with state and national champions, as well as three previous Pikes Peak winners.  I was only let into the race after a nearly two hour interview with race officials who finally determined that, even [...]

I’ve grown up around motocross practically my entire life. Racing from an early age is something I consider to be an amazing privilege and I wouldn’t have had those opportunities to do so if it weren’t for my dad. From the age of three he would take me to a race every weekend. Although this [...]
