2WD Time Attack for production-based cars record-setting Pikes Peak run by Rhys Millen in the Hyundai Genesis Coupe.

Low mounted camera with an inset of the cockpit.
Yes, I know his name is Rhys.

Yes, I know his name is Rhys.

So, why call him "Rice"?

That's really lame Mike.

And your point?






And yes, I removed the "," after "lame" ............

I wonder if the dirt sections change due to erosion enough that the preferred line changes? If so do you think that the previous records are still valid?

Edit: I see that next year, more will be paved, and by 2010 all will be paved...I guess the records will have to be divided.

Every year there has been more and more of the hill paved, this is nothing new. The weather has the biggest effect on the records at this point. Even with it completely paved the records from this year could stand if the weather was bad - wet pavement is not going to be quicker than dry conditions with pavement and dirt.

That is one event I have always wanted to do... I wonder how quick the Sentra could make it up the hill. :ibrightdea: It might need a push. :unimpressed:

The seminal joker, always ready to flummox his Autox Legion.

That's what I like about Palermo. :mrt:

[Glenn Duensing]

I wonder what the guy is saying in the insert at about the 3:50 mark
