Rhys Millen, in his barely unchanged Formula D drift and time attack car, was setting unofficial personal records for the three different sections of Pike's Peak. He was in good form for Sunday's offical run.

What is it about cars that makes people get up way before they're suppose to? I've attended weddings where even the a groom doesn't want up early on his own wedding day. So what is it about these technological tin cans that makes us happily roll out of bed, drive up a mountain, hike it, only to freeze because you're at 10,000 feet above sea level and since the sun is not up yet? After you put in all that work, you find a nice cosy spot (be it a little bit freezing, and with mutated giant ants crawling up your backpacks, bags, food, and appendages), your only reward is to see a car fly by with amazing speed and sideways action every two minutes.
