[TR] Triumphs Digest, Vol 16, Issue 72

[DAVID MASSEY]

 I took the TR6 up there in 2010.  It was a little reluctant to start and didn't want to idle well but no other issues.  I didn't get light-headed but found breathing a bit labored -- especially after playing a round of High Road to Garloch on the bagpipes.
The doughnuts are worth the trip.

I can thoroughly recommend Dave Connit’s plan to drive up Pikes Peak as part of his planned long distance odyssey.

Glenn Merrill and I did the same in 2009 using two Stags. For me, it was part of the 18,000 mile three month trip from coast to coast of the US and almost the same for Canada. With regard to the PEAK OF PIKE I found the altitude at 14000 odd feet made me a bit light-headed but neither car displayed an altitude problem in terms of power or re-starting at the summit. Didn’t touch the carbs at all following a final retune at Ragtops and Roadsters after about 3k miles and just kept on going with excellent performance, great cold starting and outstanding fuel economy. Just ensure you do PP on a fine day. The view from the summit is fantastic, though you’ll probably need a coat.
