Let's be clear. This guy has a screw loose!

Holy cow, that's some serious driving. No doubt there are multiple takes assembled to put the whole stretch together. I've driven the road in a civilian vehicle with a back seat full of kidlets, and it's a nerve racking drive. A friend did the hill climb a few years ago.
 
wow... watching that is a great start to the Morning.. !

Mad Sik!
 
Very enjoyable.

So, did the AWD save him from going off the side, when the rear was off in the dirt? Im thinking so.

I too have made this drive, and one of the most memorable parts, was the pyrometer brake check. I can only imagine how many mandatory cooling sessions have happened.
 
Amazing. The videos have been getting a little tired but that one is awesome. Talk about having huge balls.

Love the Black Flag.
 
Wow!

On the contrary....I think there is a perfect torque-setting on his screws! :-)
 
This is how you sell tires! Great promotion

Yeah it must have been assembled from several takes. I don't think one set of tires could have lasted through that much spinning and burning.
 
All you have to do is look at the skid marks, very few scenes were the 1st take.
 
yes -- so that means he 'cheated death' several times....as he practiced for the perfect shot.

I think Ken B. has achieved Evel Knevel fame for the outrageous runs he takes.

no kidding... It's hard to watch some of his driving being so close to the edge on many turns. He really knows where the edge is though!

Seriously. I found my palms got sweaty watching that scene. Love the pops and flames exiting the turbos!
 
That is amazing to watch a lot of skill and guts.
