VIDEO: "Monster" Tajima @ Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, EV-style

The wonderful, weird-sounding, wacky-fast world of EV motorsport is here to stay, so get used to it folks... and here's something that should help make it sexy – GoPro superhero Nobuhiro "Monster" Tajima aiming to beat his record of 9:51.278 in his all electric hill climb car in the 2012 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in Colorado Springs. This is his qualifying run from Friday on the 12-mile crazy hill climb course of all hill climb courses. Ok, it's not Walter Rohrl in a turbocharged, flame-spitting T16, but hey... life moves on and this is still scary, skilled stuff...

The video was shot on the new HD HERO2® camera from ‪http://GoPro.com. Check out pals at DogCam for offers: http://www.dogcamsport.co.uk/
