    On car footage....

    Fast run up a very daunting road. It is a shame the road has changed so much since the previous record was set.

    Suzuki mightier than a MINI on Pikes Peak. Congrats Monster!!!

    That's epic! Would have been cool to see his speed, rpms and the gear he was in.

    I am very surprised about how close they let spectators get to the racing surface... Especially tents and such. Has European rally written all over it... All it takes is one mistake in one of those areas. Eeesh. :eek6:

    Yes, he got out waved and took a bow. There are other videos on YT showing the later video when he climbs out.
