Follow Monster Tajima without choking on dirt!

By Hooniverse Jun 24, 2010

Start your weekend off right with some Pikes Peak madness.

This Sunday, legendary driver Nobuhiro “Monster” Tajima will be defending his all-time record of 10:01.408 at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. He will be squaring off against challengers like the equally legendary Rhys Millen, in his V8-powered Hyundai Genesis PM580, who has been making inroads on his time year after year. This year, he’s trading in his Suzuki Escudo, permanently ingrained into the minds of Gran-Turismo-playing youths the world over, and will be tackling the 12.42 treacherous miles up the mountain in an all-new Suzuki SX4 Hillclimb Special. With 910 horsepower from a twin-turbocharged 3.1-liter V6, from a wind-defined carbon fiber/Kevlar body weighing just 2,469lbs, Tajima is aiming for a sub-10 minute time up the 14,000+ feet, and around all 156 corners.
But for now, he’s just enjoying some donuts.

The confectionery kind, not the asphalt kind.

Let’s all welcome Nobuhiro Tajima to the thrilling, edge-of-your-seat world of microblogging known as Twitter, where he’ll be updating with behind-the-scenes info on his team, preparing for the event, and the race itself, when he tries to break his own record with the first sub-1o minute time in the race’s 104-year history.
And donuts. Mmm, Pikes Peak donuts.

  1. Thank you for another great article. Where else could anyone get that kind of information in such a perfect way of writing? I have a presentation next week, and I am on the look for such information.

  2. Exceedingly well-written article you got here. As 1 blogger to my fellow one, I recognise how difficult and how much energy it takes to write up something great. You have my respect.
