Thought this was really cool so I had to share. Nice bit of driving, and nice piece of video work.

That's gotta be one of the coolest forms of 4-wheeled racing out there. Hillclimb and rally are always good for a thrill.

Just for everyones bit of ""HOLY &^%&"...the record for the hill climb, which is 13 miles on the dirt with no guard rails is 10 minutes and 1 second. I was on Pikes Peak last Saturday morning at 10 am (June 20, 2009) and the temperature was a nice 27 degrees with :eek2: a 40+ mph wind. Friday, June 19, they received 6+ inches of snow. They said a white-out happened at around 6pm. We rode the Cog Railway and I highly recommend riding that thing. It takes 1-1/2 hours to get to the top, but it was great.
I am working on a ride report with pics and movies. Hope to have it complete in a couple of days.

I could have done without the singing; the sound of that engine is music enough for my ears. It sure must be a blast to thrash a car that way.
