Pike's Peak Hillclimb

[High Plains Mopars]

A new era may be dawning on the The Peak as Rhys Millen takes the win this year, a first for an electric powered vehicle, in 9:07.22. Not a new record, but certainly putting internal combustion cars on notice. Monster Tajima was second voerall , also in an electric vehicle. The current debate is now if they can ever get electric cars down enough on weight to be nimbles enouhhg for the 156 turns to match the current record.

Paul Dallenbach comes in third overall while shattering the open wheel record with a 9:36.49, besting the old record by 20 seconds in what could best be called a old school throw back vehicle using a 750 hp small block in a lowered and modified Wells Coyote chassis.

1st place in the Vintage class went to Chris Lennon in his 911 Porsche.
