In advance of the Mount Washington "Climb to the Clouds" -- a Pikes Peak-like hill climb back next year after a 10-year hiatus -- Travis Pastrana made the run in a fastest-ever time of 6 minutes, 20.47 seconds (for an average trip speed of almost 72 mph) in his Subaru Impreza WRX STI rally car as part of the Red Bull Speed Chasers project. Yes, this is a bit of press release fluff, but kudos to Pastrana and Red Bull, less for the record-breaking run than consistently bringing a level of excitement and daring -- on their own terms -- to the world of rally racing, record-breaking and risk-taking. They're doing interesting, compelling projects. Speaking of which, I also really wanted an excuse to post some of these awesome pictures. Check them out after the jump.
