That was well worth 11.5 minutes of my time! Thanks for posting!

Great video! Seeing his reaction to beating his goal was excellent.

That sound of the motors spinning up at 3:50 sent shivers up my spine!

Ditto. I'll take that over a loud for nothing exhaust any day. ?

I agree it was a good watch.
I chuckled when I heard the announcers talking about it take off. That was about the only positive thing they said about electric cars on race day.

Not gonna lie, I clenched when this flashed across my screen.

That Gen2 launches like a rail gun.

The comment about the driver who missed a turn made it real for me.

This quote from Hunter S. Thompson seems pretty on point:

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”

I had seen in another video that Gardner had completely memorized the course like his life depended on it (which, obviously, it did), but I was still a bit surprised to see that he kept his info screen on the motor status view rather than the nav map. I guess he would see red on a motor in his peripheral vision and that would be enough to tell him of a problem.

Amazing that it really is a stock truck doing that!

Wonder why no aero wheels? Not for range, just to be more slippery. Weight?

... and how's this for random- The music at the end... is that an acoustic "reimagining" of Duran Duran's instrumental "Tiger Tiger" from their 3rd album?

I'm jealous... he was able to go past 110mph on this new 2025 Quad

Now I have to save for a new quad in the future
