The Fastest Mountain in the Rockies!
By Aaron Storms
Being an automotive race fan, I was looking forward to the second annual PIT Rally on Saturday, July 18th to be held on the beautiful 8.25 mile winding mountain Central City Parkway from I-70, with 23 sweeping turns ascending 2,500 feet to the historic town of Central City. Last year was a bit unorganized, but could be expected for a first-time event of this magnitude, especially since it was primarily designed for the driver and not as a spectator event. By collecting entry fees and leasing the parkway from early morning to 4 pm, this allowed the PIT Rally team to utilize all four lanes so drivers could push themselves and their cars to the limit, or until their common sense kicked in. The PIT Rally team were much better organized this year, with most spectators either driving themselves to the KOA Campground to self-park, or to take the shuttle back and forth from Main Street instead at 15 minute intervals most of the day. Main Street was filled with automotive vendors, live bands, delicious grilled food and BBQ, and of course lots of beautiful cars.
