Anyone done Pikes Peak?

Just watched the pikes peak monster garage episode. Got me thinking has anyone done Pikes Peak in a Mini. I would assume someone has due to its history of rally racing and the great handling of the modern version. If you have, show some picts!!

The hillclimb classes do not readily accomodate the Mini, thus anyone running one up the hill would need to fit into either

- Rally car class. follows Rally America classing.

- Exhibition class. Pay your $5000 entry, convince the organizers your Mini is special, and enjoy your run.

Rally would seem to be the easier way to run the hillclimb, but as far as I know there has only been one serious attempt to run a Mini in rally ( a couple of brothers from the NW region ?).
