Pikes Peak 240SX
This is the Pikes Peak Nissan 240SX. It was a crazy project from the beginning and barely came together in time for the 2009 running of the Hill
Climb. We are very fortunate to have some great sponsors helping us out, so please have a look at the Sponsor page and go visit them.

Other Photos
Pre Fatman
Pictures of the car when it was owned and driven by Ed Shairbaum. The car was raced in the Speedvision series that traveled
with the ALMS racing series. Most of the action shots were at Mosport.
Wrap Concepts and application
Pictures of the car when it was being wrapped at Imagewraps in Colorado. There's also some conceptual drawings done be Travis Tollett
who designed the wrap for the car based on a concept given to him by Ken Stouffer. It's Pink for a reason! Ken's Mother is a breast cancer
survivor and besides the Pink being the universal symbol for breast cancer awareness, it's also his mothers favorite color. So the
entire paint scheme is a tribute to her courage.
