Pikes Peak 2012

[Ferrari333SP]

Am I correct to assume Rhys Millen isn't doing Pikes Peak this year? Don't see his prototype Hyundei on the entry list; sucks if he truly isn't doing the race this year. I guess Hyundei wanted success quicker than he could deliver, so pulled the plug this year? In any case, the rest of the Unlimited Class looks strong; my guess for the two to finish at the top are either the Palatov or Jean Philippe Dayraut's Nissan GTR-powered Dacia Duster, who's back after finishing pretty strongly last year. Tajima's electric monster is unproven, so my feeling is it won't be fastest this year.

he is not competing in the unlimted class for the overall record but I think he is taking up a version of the Hyundai Genesis up the mountain... also TOyota announced the record setting electric Radical will be tackling Pike's Peak this year as well http://www.racecar-engineering.com/news/toyota-sets-sights-on-pikes-peak/

Rhys Millen is on the entry list you posted (in the Hyundai). Monster Tajima is in the "electric" class, Wlater Rorhl in the "exhibition" class in the Audi Quattro S1 (how good is that ), then there are the 2 RS200s in the "unlimted" class should be good even if they have paved it all the way up now.

What a donkey show this year!

My friend, co-driver for Jerad Voight in the Dark Horse Customs Camaro crashed 6 turns from the finish in a sheet of ice/hail.

Shortened race...

Should've been black flagged and the rest run on Monday. Terrible job by the race director.
