Rhys Millen Takes First in Time Attack 2WD!
By John Coyle

Last week in Vegas, Rhys Millen crashed his Red Bull Pontiac Solstice after a differential failure made the car uncontrollable. But today, that nasty business was ancient history. Not only did Millen take first place in the Time Attack 2WD class on Pikes Peak, he crushed the previous year’s record by a whopping 14 seconds. From the way he looked coming crossing the finish line, it’s clear that the car was running perfectly. Check out this clip of him taking the checkered—doesn’t he look a little close to the edge?—and don’t miss him talking to me about the win below. Five pics of the Solstice after the jump.

I’d love to see more drifters out there for Pike’s Peak – if drifting has real world application anywhere, this is probably it.

He won last year in that class as well. There were only three cars in that class but he was the only one that finished.

Pretty cool considering he won last years race as well. He was the only one of three cars in the class that finished last year.
