This was the only thing missing! The record breaking run of Monster Tajiama<\/a> at the 2011 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb<\/a> on video and uploaded to YouTube. As main sponser of Tajima’s 2011 Suzuki SX4 Hill Climb Special mini-camera specialists GoPro attached numerous GoPro HD cameras on the car. The clip below comes from the camera mounted on top of the Suzuki. <\/p>\n Tajima was ten seconds faster than his old record of 10:01.408. He and his Suzuki SX4 Hill Climb Special managed a new time of 9:51.278. He is the first person to break the 10 minute barrier!<\/p>\n The race is a hillclimb run on a 12.42 mile course with 156 turns that begins at 9,390 feet and finishes at the 14,110 foot summit of America\u2019s Mountain; Pikes Peak! As the drivers climb toward the summit, the thin air slows reflexes and saps muscle strength. The thin air also robs engines of 30% of their power at the summit.<\/p>\n
