Pikes Peak 2012 Dallenbach-Banks

This video is from a day of testing on the lower half of the course on June 9, 2012. Everything is looking good and everyone is happy with the times we're running. Can't wait for the race! Stay tuned for more action. "Like Us" on Facebook for all the latest news and updates! Here's some more info on this... Dallenbach Racing and Banks Power have once again teamed up to compete in this year's Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. As some of you may remember, Paul Dallenbach had the fastest times in his Unlimited class during testing last year, but as fate would have it, the car's right half shaft was not up to the task and broke at the launch of the race. This year the team has massively upgraded the half shafts and the car is running a more aggressive, higher calibration with no issues. Banks has upped the power in the 422 cu.in. small block Chevy V8 from 1307hp and 1206 lb-ft to 1400 hp and 1301 lb-ft, and with that increase comes the challenge of keeping the tires from breaking loose. Even with a reworked aero package for the now entirely paved course, we're still seeing tire slip in 5th gear at 144 mph (which is 20 mph faster than our previous best and is a new record for the team).
