tough luck... one of the fiestas flipped and the driver is ok. The other one had a good shot at the record, but the turbo started failing and the tire burst into flames. He finished with a respectable 11:27 with those problems.

pics and vids to come

I saw that Genesis on the back of a car hauler last week. Was sitting at the truck stop next door to my shop. Sick little car.
It's Gumby's fault.

Holy shiznit! That's Marcus Grönholm! Did you get to talk to him/get his autograph? He is a MADMAN! Watch some old footage of him. The man never blinks. It's like he's in this manic state every time he gets behind the wheel.

The Genesis ended up setting a class record, too. It's Millen's second record at Pikes Peak, I think?

he broke his own record on a blown out tire too. I gave him props for that. On the way back down the mountain we asked him to drift around a bit and he pointed to the tire lol.

Rod (his dad) held the mountain record for 13 years. It was beaten by Tajima in 2007 by only a few seconds.

Rhys will run an unlimited genesis next year. I talked with him for a while and he wants the mountain back in the Millen name.

Yep I got Grönholm's autograph on a nice picture of the fiesta and his team. He is a nice guy, I got to talk with him a bit too.

Kinda tired tonight but I will upload a few of those vids and pics tomorrow.
