How rad was that?

Awesome! and scary at the same time. That's another one of those hillclimbs where there is so little margin for error. One wrong move and you crash down the mountain risking death.

He really broke the record by quite a bit...and still looking to knock off at least another 11 sec. next time if weather cooperates. Looking forward to seeing that one, too.

Yeah, his time was substantially better than the '98 record. He was dead on his line and so smooth throughout. Really talented guy.

It absolutely amazes me how American motorsports enthusiasts still feel the need to suck the giant teet of NASCAR.

This ladies and I say loosely, gentelmen IS the epitome of what a TRUE motorsports is. This guy has balls of steel and the talent to back it up. Bravo sir. Bravo

I had some fun driving in the mountains in Nevada, Arizona, and Colorado, but I think the coolest spot yet is Utah, I would love it if they did this in classes. I hope this starts getting more notice. Anyone into this but wants to try something else check out mountain boarding. A little slower cause it's not a car but safer too.
