Cobra pikes peak hillclimb
Not sure how many have seen this before but for those who haven't I found it a great video. Maybe some one will know more of a history behind the car. Found that its propane fueled with a chev engine and maybe a Shell Valley. Would like to know what suspension and etc.

Cool video. I love that road.
But there are a few sections that are problematic if you miss a turn. :eek:

The car is a Shell Valley, Chevy powered running with two propane tanks mounted to the rear deck. Really radical and Randy is just one heck of a driver. He lives in either Denver or Colorado Springs and is in the propane business. Try googling Randy Schranz. He is really a good guy and would tell you about the features of his car. I do not think he competes any more but runs exhibition at the peak. He also ran at Run N Gun for several years so maybe Clois or Dean has his contact info.
If you talk to him tell him Jay Nordstrom says Hi.

I wonder if that helps with the big altitude change?
It's over 14,000' at the top. Air is a tad thin up there and I think it's about 7,000' elevation change from the starting gate so it has to wreak havoc on the a/f mixtures. |

I wonder if the pressure for propane can be adjusted for altitude, or is is a system not needing any ambient air to run? Then the altitude won't have any effect.
Almost like a turbo who boost the same pressure from bottom to top of the mountain (well, almost).

The worst part must have been braking on the gravel road after the finish line!!
