On
June 27, 2010, Rhys Millen attempted
to beat the current "Unlimited
Class" World Record of 10:01.408 at
the 88th running of the Pikes Peak
International Hill Climb, the "Race
to the Clouds." For 10 years, it has
been Rhys' dream to break the
10-minute barrier and this year he
hoped to capture the elusive record
and return it to the Millen name.
This is look at his run and the
challenges he faced in his custom
built Genesis PM580: a 1,850 pound,
750 horse power V6 designed
specifically to conquer the 156
turns of this 12.52 mile course (of
which this year, half is pavement)
that begins at 9,390 feet and
finishes at the 14,110 foot summit.
