Must be a family rivalry going on as, after Mark Higgins cracked the TT record in a Scoob earlier this month, David Higgins has now cracked (or rather smashed) the original course record and Pastrana's recent time on the Mount Washington Hillclimb.
Pastrana set a new record on the course last year (of 6:21), Higgins has broken that by a further 10 seconds - so the record now stands at 6:11 - with Higgins time over 30 seconds faster than the previous record set before a Subaru set a wheel on the hill.
Despite the split jury on the styling of the hatch, it does seem to make a very potent rally car.
I wonder if Pastrana will come back for another stab at it? Hopefully some video of the Higgins runs will follow.
