Pikes Peak 2014: Race Results

The 2014 running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb won’t be remembered for its seriously fast drivers or – like 2013’s race – an astonishing, record-setting performance. Instead, it’ll be marred by the death of motorcycle racer Bobby Goodin, who crashed his number 86 2014 Triumph Daytona 675R just after crossing the finish line, and was announced dead shortly after by the El Paso Co. Sheriff’s Dept.

It was a gnarly, freak crash that most people didn’t see or even know about until the remaining runners were delayed. Bobby Goodin’s bike ended up going airborne and pitched the racer, sending him face down into a rocky area. EMTs found him unconscious, and gave him continuous CPR until he was taken away from the summit by a Flight for Life helicopter to Penrose Main Hospital in Colorado Springs.

Despite the tragedy, there were triumphs to be celebrated – if, maybe, not tonight.

European prototype racer Romain Dumas never threatened Loeb’s Pikes Peak record, but still had the fastest time on the day. Monster Tajima, meanwhile, doesn’t seem to have finished his run (I didn’t see it), while the all-electric Mitsubishi racers finished 1-2 in class, and 2-3 overall, proving once again that EVs have a future at America’s most storied hill climb.

You can check out the final standings, taken from timing and scoring at its last update, below, and let us know what you think of the EV’s performance (or, if you were lucky enough to be friends with him, Bobby Goodin’s passing) in the comments section at the bottom of the page.
