Evolution Dynamics Pikes Peak EVO

,

The project took about 8 months from start to finish. Time for round 2!

In happier times:

 

The “before” team pic.

 

This was Jeremy Foley's first time driving Pike's Peak, a dream of his for almost two decades. 

 

Kevin shared a detailed spec sheet with us.  Better have some deep pockets if you aspire to race a similar Evo up Pike's Peak.  He is already strategizing his dream build so I'm sure you'll see another Evolution Dynamics car competing again in one of the most awesome hill climbs in the world. Let's hope next time there's no recess in the sandbox at “Devil's Playground.”

Thanks to Kevin for inviting us in to check out the carnage and we hope to see the replacement car come to fruition to take another shot at the Peak.  We also wish Jeremy Foley and Yuri Kouznetsov all the best in getting back on the track. Every motorsports enthusiast wants to be safe and take the proper precautions when we're behind the wheel – on the streets or the track – but if we preferred our hobbies were wrapped in a safety bubble, we'd take up knitting or basket weaving. Just like yo' momma said: “Have fun and be safe!”
