You are correct, sir! I wish I could get more external camera footage, but my car was not that cool amongst the group that was running the Challenge this year, so there wasn't much attention paid to me by the media.

He took it very easy. The owner of Spectre, Amir Rosenbaum, ran a 3:52.xx in his first time up the hill in the V wagon, beating my best time by approximately 3 seconds (although Amir has the all-time record in the challenge, so he is very familiar with the road). One of the other Spectre crew ran the V wagon up the hill in a 3:42.xx, I believe. A very fast time in a 4200 lb beast.

I am just waiting on some video from a buddy, and for some of the professional shots that I bought of my car and hopefully I'll have all of that by the end of the week so I can post up my event re-cap this weekend.
I thought this article was really cool and did a great job of showing the road and how scary/dangerous it could be.
