In Praise of the PeakWhile being stationed in Germany I discovered the sport of Rally racing. I was fortunate enough to attend Rallye Deutschland in 2004, and I have been hooked on the sport ever since. I was able to arrange my trip from Germany to coincide with the Pikes Peak Hill Climb. I sold my Mustang to buy a 2000 Impreza RS prior to arriving in Colorado. With car in hand, I found myself on Pikes Peak at Devils playground "witness to the most spectacular four-wheeled insanity anywhere".
