The shortened course did little to slow the Honda/Acura team, however, as Michael Tsay (Electric Production), Alex Lloyd (Exhibition) and Keith Steidl (UTV) each finished on the podium in their classes. 'Pike's Peak provides a unique opportunity to show the versatility and sportiness of our products – both Honda and Acura,' said Art St. Cyr, President of Honda Performance Development. 'Congratulations to our associates who all made fast and safe runs up a very challenging course, and earned three class victories, including the fastest overall motorcycle run. It also was exciting to see the new NSX supercar on track as the pace car. 'We would like to express our deepest sympathies to the family of racer Carl Sorenson, who suffered a tragic accident on Thursday while preparing to ride in the race.' James Robinson drove his 1991 Acura NSX to a second place in the Open class after clocking in at 10:37.547, while Zach Jacobs was the last of the Honda/Acura team to run the full course, finishing fifth in the Middleweight Motorcycle division. 'This is my third time up here and I had pretty big expectations, so I'm a little disappointed, but it feels great to make it to the top of the mountain,' Jacobs said after finishing fifth in his class. 'The HPD guys did a great job with the program and the crew did everything they could to get us ready for the race. It really went well.'
