Up Pikes Peak in 7:57.148

https://www.roadandtrack.com/motorsports/a22087818/fly-up-pikes-peak-precisely-in-757148/

Yikes... poetry in motion... after a while, I liked it better with the sound off or turned down.

Electric is damn fast with its instant torque and no decline in power at altitude, but all I could hear was a damn golf cart and it did absolutely nothing to stir the soul or lets say excite me

turn down the volume of the electric car video, open a new window with a video of your favorite engine sounds and play them at the same time:

This is on my short list for motorsports events that I would like to attend. I already missed out on the course being partial gravel, I hope I don't miss out on the flame shooting internal combustion engines as well.

Sounds like a vacuum cleaner being sucked up in a hurricane.
