Yesterday we brought you news of “Monster” Nobuhiro Tajima's record-setting sub-10-minute run to the top of Pikes Peak, and now we have roof-cam video of Monster and his heavily modified Suzuki SX4 hillclimb car bombing up the mountain. Our favorite part of the clip, besides the mind-boggling speeds attained during the climb—and the massive cojones to pilot a vehicle along often guardrail-free, gravel-strewn cliff's-edge roads at such speeds—is the terrifying proximity of spectators to the course. There are several instances in the video of Monster's run where we were convinced a fan was about to get their ankles chopped off by the powersliding SX4's massive front air dam/splitter. Thankfully, no ankles were severed in the making of the video, and you can watch Tajima's 9:51.28 run below.
