Introductions | Flood To Track

March 18th, 2018 by

In the first video of this series, learn how this whole idea got started. Discover how & why professional race car driver, Robb Holland and the founder/CEO of AutoSavvy, Luke Kjar met. The past two years Robb has raced the Pikes Peak Hill Climb, a race just outside Colorado Springs, Colorado, that starts at an elevation of 10,000 feet and goes all the way up to 14,00 feet. It has 152 corners and there are probably a half a dozen places that if you went off you would not stop falling for about 2,000 feet. Pikes Peak is a very, very specific race, so you have to have a car that is very quick but is also very safe and reliable. His cars have reached a top speed of about 146 miles per hour going through the Picnic Round, which is pretty quick. Robb set the time for the fastest Corvette in history. The biggest surprise from Robb? His vehicle is a salvage car.

Video Transcription

Luke:
I’m Luke Kjar. I’m the Founder and CEO of AutoSavvy. The largest branded title dealership in the United States.

Robb:
My name is Robb Holland. I’m a professional race car driver.

Luke:
So, I’m in my office at work, and my CFO comes and throws an article on my desk. It’s about this guy, who was crazy enough to take a salvage vehicle up the most dangerous road in the world, and it’s a race called Pikes Peak.

Robb:
The past couple of years, I’ve raced the Pikes Peak Hill Climb. It’s a race just outside Colorado Springs, Colorado. We start at 10,000 feet and go all the way up to 14,00 feet. It’s got 152 corners, and there are probably a half a dozen places that if you went off you would not stop falling for about 2,000 feet. Pikes Peak is a very, very specific race, so you have to have a car that is very quick but is also very safe and reliable. The car reached a top speed of about 146 miles per hour going through the Picnic Round, which is pretty quick. I set the time for the fastest corvette in history. The biggest surprise with my vehicle is that I got the car as a salvage car.

Luke:
I couldn’t get out of my mind how awesome that is. So, I called him up and said “We gotta meet” because of what we do with salvage and branded title vehicles.

Robb:
As soon as he called me. It really peaked my interest. The main thing is because I had never seen a dealership or multiple dealerships that were solely designed around salvage cars.

Luke:
He flies out to our corporate store in Salt Lake City. We met about how amazing his story is and combining what he did with a salvage car and what we’ve done with salvage cars for over 15 years.

Robb:
Since we did the Pikes Peak Car, everyone has been asking what the next project is going to be. I’m very happy to be able to finally announce…
