The track is 6,000. I live at 7,500. Of course, in 20 minutes we can reach 14,115. That's pretty close to God especially if you lose your brakes on Pikes Peak Highway. I actually worked at this race. The middle of summer and the weather was Sheet. If you've ever done the Pikes Peak Highway they stop you halfway down and check your brake temperature. Too many flatlanders riding their brakes on the way down. Brakes fail then they go off the edge of the mountain.
