Pike's Peak 2013

After he wrecked there was speculation he might be able to get it back together in time for the race but he's not listed on today's qualifying list.

The one below, however, is definitely out.

No one running yet but video feeds are up here and here and live timing and scoring should be here when it's avail.

 

The Red Bull commentators are ... not so good. If you want to follow along another option for audio is KRDO-FM via tunein.

 

Loeb sets a time of 8:13! I think that beats the record by more than a minute.

 

Was it not fully paved last year as well?

 

Millen's record set last year was 9:46.

He beat that this year by nearly 45sec with a 9:02.

Dayraut (this guy) also finished under Millen's 2012 record time with a 9:42.

 

And now they're apparently having rain and hail on part of the course and snow at the top. :crazy:

A few more great times set first though, including Dallenbach in time attack class just beating Millen's old record with a 9:46.

 

I just did a bit of searching and it looks like this is the second year of fully paved running.

Sample quote from this article in Hot Rod:

Here's another from a Denver Post article published 08/09/2012:

Monster Tajima just set an electric vehicle time of 9:46, would have matched Millen's course record last year.

 

Peugeot's onboard POV video of Loeb's record run can be seen here (I recommend full screen :yesnod: ).
