He goes at 0:00 on the video, he crosses line at 35 seconds, the displayed recorded time at the end of the view is 34:82 what's hard to believe?

Jos is even more impressive considering it's a bike motor!
Hopefully he'll make a full-ish recovery and we'll see him in a hill climb car again at some point!

A few generations of technology advances helps, Doug.

But scary to think you are at Junction in the time it took Alex/Scott to make it to the top.
