6 versus 8: The Course and Driver

Male Speaker: Throughout the actual start of our hill claim at Loveland Pass. There are so many people in trucks and camera's. Today, we are going to be shooting several cars going up and down the canyon at speeds of 100 plus miles an hour. Matt Stone: The right pilot for this project is critical that has to be somebody that can get in a car that is never driven before and get it right up to speed. Someone who is world champion hill claim specialist -- Jean Jennings: My first pair was the only pair and it was the Rob Millen. Rob Millen: You know maybe why automobile choice made it do this, but based on my career of rising on roads, not having lots of practice. They told me I'm going to get three rounds on each car. That's it. Get it done. Jean Jennings: When we start, three lay ups, up and down. Male Speaker 1: In one car? Jean Jennings: In one car. Male Speaker 1: I'm going to get the break so high. You know the air is so thin here, breaks over heat so much heat is here. Matt Stone: Read out to do something like this and you think you could done whereas the mile high city where well more than twice that elevation here. 11990 feet at the Loveland pass. I think it is the perfect place to do this. Rob Millen: You know hill claim is that's man and machine against the terrain. This is always alimented danger in any race car that you step into. A lot of the say that there are no guardrails. Policeman: Basically, what we are doing is every 30 minutes relating vehicles pass grew it out of the tankers. Rob Millen: Learning what the car can do as quickly as possible is really important and it takes me about one round to get to used to them, and then in the next round i would sort of try it to hang it out as fast as we can go. Jean Jennings: You know Rob is not just a hill climb specialist. He is a Pikes Peak champion. Matt Stone: You can draw a lot of information out of the car in a short period of time. Rob Millen as they say, he is the man. Male Speaker 2: They are saying that we should release traffic.
