Pikes Peak International Hill Climb

Pikes Peak International Hill Climb

Join us as we watch the Apex Auto Works “Apexocet” attack the legendary Pikes Peak International Hill Climb! We’ll be cheering them on as they race to the clouds, we’d love to see you there!

“As the drivers climb toward the summit, the thin air slows reflexes and saps competitor’s mental and muscle strength in addition to robbing internal combustion engines of up to 30% of the power they are capable of at the Start Line. Competitors and vehicles must be in top shape and condition simply to finish, let alone win.

The race is self-sanctioned and is the most diverse one day motorsports event in the world with everything from Sidecars, Motorcycles, Semi-Trucks, and 1,400+hp EV & Unlimited Racers being able to compete in the same event.”

Chihuahua Express

Chihuahua Express

The crew of Apex Auto Works is at it again in their LS powered “Apexocet” as they head to Mexico to race in the Chihuahua Express! Follow along as they tear across Mexico in one of the most grueling endurance races. The Apex crew will rip through the streets of Mexico at full throttle, battling it out with other competition in their unlimited class. How it works;

“Competitors follow detailed directions in a route book and line up eight or more times a day to drive “speed stages.” The cars are started in one-minute intervals over highways closed to traffic by the Chihuahua state and city police. The fastest cars go first, but passing is allowed. The length of the closed road or speed stage will normally be five to fifteen miles. Electronic timing is used. Road surfaces in northern Mexico are generally excellent. After each speed stage, the competitors will drive a “transit section” to the next speed stage.”

Be sure to follow along!

Chance of a lifetime

The Apex Auto Works team is looking for a navigator to lead them through the 2017 Chihuahua Express! It is a grueling, extremely competitive, event that runs over multiple days as you rip through the streets of Mexico. If you have what they’re looking for, and you’re ready for a serious adventure, reach out to them!

“We are now LOOKING for a navigator!
So as Chihuahua Express QUICKLY approaches our team has had a hiccup!!!!!
(Sayer is fine and will be going with, just won’t be able to navigate.)
Requirements you must consider before you even PM me that you want to do it.
1. It is racing, not a party.
2. This car is open and not slow.
3. The route it is around mountain roads, with lots of elevation changes.
4. Motion sickness, it’s a reality. If you have it at all you are out.
5. You are doing many things as a navigator.
A. Navigation, reading during speed and transit stages while keeping track of time and distance.
B. Operation of TerraTrip, Stop Watch, and Time card.
C. Calculate fuel consumption/ time/ distance….on the fly
D. Contributing member of the team, from wrenching, washing, to pushing a car up hill in the rain!!!
6. Mechanical aptitude.
(Miata/LS based car)
7. Your size….6′ max, 16 1/2″ seat (day two is 11+ hours in the car!)
8. Leave April 25th returning May 1st late.
9. Must have a passport, it is Mexico (not a border town)
10. Quitting is not an option!
This is a life experience!
It may not be on your bucket list currently, but once you do it, it will be!

We will be conducting interviews over the next 2 weeks.
