Thumbs up HRE Wheels Presents: Chasing The Record Part 2

We're sure most of you have heard about Monster Tajima's record setting run at the Pike's Peak Hillclimb this year. Since HRE joins sponsors, Falken, GoPro, Contour HD and Red Bull in supporting Monster's Team and Rhys Millen Racing, we wanted to share all of the emotion and excitement surrounding this year's most watched drivers. Check out part two of our Chasing the Record series! Enjoy!

a car that gets very poor gas mileage.
You've heard of the Man of Steel.
Tajima's got ***** of steel!

He's been running Pike's Peak for a long time. I remember watching him back in '90-'91 along with Rod Millen. These guys would tear up the mountain. As a matter of fact, it was Tajima who first broke Millen's record in '06 or '07 which Millen held since '94 in a Toyota Celica.

Good times.

Congrats Tajima and congrats to HRE...you guys sure do know how to build a set of wheels.
