Not to be a wet blanket but Smashes? Relative term...20 sec is a lot but he is using 22 yrs new car and tire technology. Dont get me wrong, I m a big Pastrana and for him to lay down that time on his first run is incredible so not discounting this in the least. It would be cool to see what happens next year when this race is on after a 10 yr hiatus.

The wife and I just last week were commenting to ourselves how steep a 6% grade was in AZ between Phoenix and The Grand Canyon. 11% is STEEP.

YouTube - FULL RUN - Travis Pastrana's rally hillclimb up Mt. Washington

Ps- Though I'd share, Mt Washington is about 10 mins from my NH house. It truely is amazing to see the weather that it gets. Mt Washington is just left of this picture I took you can see some of the clouds towards the top of it. Next time I go up I will take better pictures.
