Pikes Peak 2011: into the 9s

Monster Tajima has broken the record and finished at 9:51. Rod Millen has also broken the 2wd time attack class record at 11:04. Wasn't surprising that records have been broken now that more of the course has been sealed over.

Bloody 'ell, who's braver, the driver or the photographers?

100% sealed next year. Wonder if sub 9s would be possible.

Bit of a pity in my eyes that it's going to be 100% paved in future.

Makes you appreciate the old days. Circa 1988

I looked seriously at the SX4 but it was a bit noisy for us old folk, so got the Kizashi instead... Don't think it'd catch Monster though... :innocent:

It will be interesting to see what vehicles people will race up Pikes in future, but I agree, the dirt and gravel will be sorely missed.

It will be interesting.


No it won't. Cross that one off the list.

I love the old Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak, the one featured in the Gran Turismo series.
