    First year the hill has been completely paved, thus the records are being set.

    Yep......this is the second year for the paving. I forgot about the delayed race last year with the new paving.

    Looks like the videos originally posted here of Loeb's onboard during the record run have been pulled. Here's another. HD selectable and fully worthy of full screen. :Thumbsup:
