Generally speaking, your race could be considered over once you've rolled the car you're driving. In most forms of motorsport, it is, regardless of which side of the car your roll-over ends on. Not so at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb (PPIHC). Levi Shirley did just that, and rather than call it a day, he continued on, presumably totally unbothered by his near-death experience. Good thing Shirley crashed in a full-tube hillclimber with safety harnesses and not some basic passenger Ford Bronco Raptor with an LSX swap.

You can watch the roll in the video below (skip to 2:33 for the action). Post barrel-roll, Shirley was able to complete his run up Pikes Peak in nearly zero-visibility foggy conditions. Sure, he didn't set the best time the mountain saw this weekend, but Shirley won on style points alone.

Let's rewind a bit for some context. The PPIHC is a now-100-year-old race up one of Colorado's tallest mountains, Pikes Peak, which stands 14,115 feet above sea level. It's hilariously treacherous on a perfect day. It could be sunny and warm at the bottom, and meanwhile, it could be white-out snowstorm conditions at the top. We've driven the mountain at "tourist speeds" before, and drivers aren't kidding when they say every corner looks the same, even in good weather.

Go watch the rest of Shirley's run to see what we mean. The accident itself is scary enough, but seeing the speeds Shirley is hitting at what he called "40% pace" is far scarier.

The roll itself happened God-knows-where on Pikes when Shirley "hooked an edge" (caught a tire off-pavement) under braking. That unsettled the car, which slid into the corner and then off the road, rolling twice before coming to a stop. Physics was kind to Shirley and put him back on his wheels. So, he continued, apparently unbothered by being tossed into the trees at high speed.

Then again, the man driving the 700-hp buggy for a living would likely be unphased at the rolling of his ride. He's probably done it before. The truck Shirley made the run in makes that horsepower figure thanks to one of Chevy's LSX V8 crate motors, which out of the box, make around 625 hp. Combine that with a lightweight tube frame, off-road race-ready suspension, and gravel tires, and you've got one sketch package on a wet, foggy road with poor visibility.

Still, we're just glad the man was unhurt. Drivers have died at Pikes Peak as recently as last year, and have almost every year since. The mountain is not a kind host, and we're thrilled Shirley was able to keep going and finish his run despite that.
