Not long ago, I had posted Monster Suzuki XL7 on Nobuhiro Tajima attempts to break record in Pike Peak climbing race.

Today, he made it! The legend had won Pike Peak climbing race at 10 minutes, 1.408 seconds to reach 14,110-foot mountain.

Tajima with the Suzuki XL7, quoted "It's fantastic. I'm very happy. I want to try again and beat the 10-minute barrier." Fans looking forward Tajima participants in next year race.

With this winning, Tajima is crowned as "King of Mountain" in the racing world.

Some pictures of Tajima's Suzuki XL7:

congrats to monster tajima. hmmm, I noticed in the pic that he was seated in the centre of the cockpit when racing uphill.

Was it for weight distribution, or was he too big in size, therfore being shifted to center position in the cockpit....
