Pikes Peak International Raceway and Hot Import Nights present
ASCEND
powered by XRP Ledger

 
ASCEND is a Time Attack competition with $50,000 in cash prizes. The event will take place on July 1st and 2nd 2023. Alongside the competition, there will be Drag Racing, Drifting, Hot Imports Nights Car Show, Saturday Night Concert, Fireworks, a Drone Light Show, and weekend camping. Time Attack competitors will compete in six timed sessions where the first breaks the track record, the fastest overall, and the top three in each class will receive a portion of the cash prize. The current production car track record is 53.097 and is held by Feras Qartoumy in his C6 Corvette. 
 
Pikes Peak International Raceway’s road course is a 1.3-mile roval, including nine turns and an eleven-degree embankment. The Time Attack configuration may appear simple from an aerial track map view, but it is deceptively technical. Tracking out on the 85’ wide road course from the oval is easily the fastest section of the racetrack. Drivers find themselves pushing farther and farther outside of their comfort zones to reach unimaginable top speeds. If you’re braking late, you’re not braking late enough. If you think you’re hitting your apex, think again. 
 
The ASCEND Time Attack Competition is comprised of four classifications: Classic 200, Super 200, Unlimited, and Exhibition. Each class has a list of requirements that must be met to compete in the specified class. A limited number of entries will be accepted. Drivers will be featured on our Livestream on both Saturday and Sunday so everyone can keep up with the live action.
