Almost pulled it off! I’m glad he’s ok…

With less than a week to go before SEMA, the Ryhs Millen Genesis Coupe is almost done. The car has received carbon fiber fenders, doors and roof panels, an eight point roll cage, and a host of performance mods. See page two of their ride page for the latest pics of the build!

While Tanner Foust took first in the latest Formula D race, in my opinion, his ride just isn’t as cool as Samuel Hubinette’s evil Mopar. So even though the Crazy Swede came in third, I wanted to use this pic for my post. Bad. And. Ass. For more photos of the action, head over to the events section!

Actually, it’s coming to Monroe, which at 35 minutes from downtown, is close enough. Now, Formula D is always a blast, and obviously, the editorial staff is pretty stoked that we’re going to get to go a cool event without having to spend an entire day on an airplane. This round is the Breaking Point, which seems appropriate since Evergreen Speedway is one of the fastest circuits in the series, and the potential for carnage is super-high. Head over to the official Formula D website for the current standings, and make sure to check out all the pics from the season’s previous stops, the Streets of Long Beach, Feel the Heat, the Gauntlet, and High Stakes.

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.
