Pikes Peak was at its "peak" before it was tar sealed.

Have to agree with Drover. "The Peak" was at its best before it was sealed.

Check out this film of Ari Vatanen conquering Pikes Peak in the 405 Peugeot in 1989. The music and sound of that Peugeot motor at full revs, not to mention the awesome skills of Ari Vatanen carving up the Peak, still stands up today as one of the ultimate motor sport films.

The only good thing about it being tared is that bikes can now take it on:).
The Ari vid is probably the best motorsport video ever made - IMHO at least.

I agree. I love when he shields his eyes from the sun, while driving at extreme speed on that edge.
