Summary
Dan Novembre shattered the Open Wheel class record at Pikes Peak with a blistering 9:01.689, shaving 18 seconds off the old mark in his 18th year on the mountain—his second straight win, though just shy of his personal nine-minute goal. Laura Hayes also dominated, claiming her second GT4 Trophy by Yomaha-Turbo title with a 10:17.538, praising the class’s growing competitiveness and driver-focused nature. Meanwhile, Patrick Culligan suffered a high-speed crash but was reported stable after being hospitalized. J.R. Hildebrand and rookie Jim Morris also broke records—Hildebrand in Production Cars and Morris in Front-Wheel Drive—proving the mountain’s enduring magnetism for speed and spectacle, even amid danger.
