Travis Pastrana Mt. Washington 2017 Record Run
Do the math.
The road is about 7.5 miles long. He did it in UNDER 5 minutes and 45 seconds.
That makes his AVERAGE speed over 60 mph!!! On some short stretches, he was probably doing 80 mph or higher!
Remember, there's NO GUARDRAIL on this road.
Update - August 2021 - He sets a new Record at the 2021 Mt. Washington Hillclimb.
His speed at times was well over 100 MPH!!!

I sat through this video with my eyes open! I would love to do a few practice runs in the drivers seat. I am sure I wouldn’t do as well as these people are pro’s!
That's a piece of cake compared to Pikes Peak.
OMG, what a ride that was!!! I don't think the driver blinked once. Thank God there wasn't any wildlife crossing the road.
