Also should note that this is only the second year that the course has been run after it was paved all the way to the top.

Yeah, I'm not sure how they can even claim this is beating the old record, the course is completely different paved.

Well, he did beat Millen's record from last year on the fully paved course. Millen this year also improved his time by :44, meaning that there is probably still a lot of time for people to find on the course.

oh yeah, no doubt, and it's still impressive to watch, I just find it odd that the media lumps this performance together with those from the past on gravel and dirt.

FYI: Noel and Gilbert were supposed to be running the Audi at Pikes Peak in the Time Attack class. I can't find them in the results though... I wonder if they were able to make the run.
