Jeff Zwart isn’t really sure but says he’s probably covered around 1400 competitive miles at Pikes Peak since his first race outing there in 1989. Given that the course is 12.42 miles, that’s a lot of trips up the world’s most famous hillclimb.<\/p>\n
A businessman working in television media, Zwart got into Pikes Peak through work, albeit indirectly. \u201cWe did a lot of TV commercials for car companies, and one of the stunt drivers we used was Rod Millen. Me and Rod used to have a lot of fun together on jobs, just screwing around with rental cars and so on; then at one point in the late 1980s, he said to me, \u2018You know, you’re pretty good at this. You should give it a go properly.’\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 …\u00a0 Pictures and more<\/a><\/p>\n
