Note from Brian Wismann, SVP of Product Development at Zero:
The 2019 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb event was marred by the death of Carlin Dunne, a long-time advocate for the Motorcycle program there and supporter of improved safety for riders on the hill climb. Based on this tragic event that occurred mere hours after Cory’s own run, the event organizers made the decision to discontinue the motorcycle program at Pikes Peak. Therefore, the 2019 event may be the last time motorcycles were allowed to race this historic event that has run for over 100 years. Zero is honored to have been able to play a small part in the history of this event.
