I agree, but also At the same time I can understand why they wouldn’t. I think an electric car was introduced a few years back. Electric cars presence in the pikes peak hill climb has increased every year from other groups. Now these guys show up with diesel conversions lmao. Personally, I love diesel conversion builds, but I can see why the hippies would get their panties in a bunch.

What a contrast in driving style! Most flat track racers drive on the edge of control. This guy had only 1 hay bale every half mile! He was taking those outside corners REAL CAREFUL! "Let's go fast, but live to drive again!"

This is so amazing! Great work guys, you will get that beast to the top! Thanks for sharing this amazing journey and I can not wait to see what you guys do next time!

You guys tried something that was just absolutely bat crap crazy and made it work for the most part. Most people would just give up at the point it all came apart (literally from the sound of it,) but you guys, especially Cole are only mildly discouraged and are going to learn from this and do it all again next year. I'll definitely be watching the day Cole takes Frank up the mountain and smokes the diesel record.

@Karl with a K Jesus, youre delusional. In order to amass the wealth needed to fund this, hard work is imperative. The idea that they must not have worked hard because they now have time to live their dream is flawed in every possible way. One that has been able to collect wealth, if over one or multiple generations, adds more value to society than the average worker. Considering that hes not multi billionaire out of touch with life, the most likely conclusion on how wealth was amassed is through entrepreneurship. It adds to society in various ways, ranging from innovation, more tax income to the government, to creating workplaces, most likely decreasing unemployment to an extent. There are so many factors you refuse to consider due to your narrow view dictated by jealousy and a lack of understanding.

I remember how i was watching the live stream and laughed with comentators how they said "it sounds strange...gtr but we hear a diesel" and i realized that something more different i never heard and see that my brain wont processed it.. :D but it was a really sad to see that you guys didn't make it to the top...hope for the next year! greetings from the czech republic!

why not go for a v6 3.0t tdi or v8 4.2 tdi? would likely be more reliable under throttle in the curves, (while being waaaay lighter and having stock applications that bolt up to a zf8hp awd trans) i understand they are more complicated but having worked on 6.0's, 7.3's, cummins, dura's, i feel it would fit the application better and still be weird....

First video i've ever seen of your channel and this car, safe to say i'm going to stick around! Sorry you didn't complete the track this year but the satisfaction for when you do next year will be that much greater! Great job and i hope to see another video soon!

I was confused when they said they had another engine, then proceeded to build Up a separate engine, with apparently different length pushrods? Having a back up engine normally means it’s ready to go, not a block and components that needs to be assembled at 2 AM while experimenting with seemingly random changes. The oil system modifications makes sense, but whose bright idea was it to change the pushrod length to the point where the engine wouldn’t even make compression? Anyways, impressive work all around in spite of the confusing aspects. Why such a short time to get things ready? Maybe they just got the idea to compete in pikes Peak a few weeks before the event? With all that stress, rushed and exhausted crew, I would have waited till next year and done it with plenty of practice and confidence. Also a few miles on the odometer/racetrack so you know it’s reliable? That’s probably why I’m not setting any records LOL I’m not at the end of the video yet, maybe they just had such a crazy and great idea that they win in spite of all the hardships. Can’t wait to find out! If they don’t do it this year, I’m excited to see what happens next year.
