For Episode 74 of the Flatirons Syndicate Motorsports Podcast, Ryan and I talk to Cole Powelson about his run up Mount Washington, World Time Attack, and the two crazy cars that Lyfe Motorsports is getting ready for the 2022 Pikes Peak Hill Climb.

I will mention that I was late getting Ryan the link for the Podcast, so I started to talk to Cole as he was getting set up, and asked about the electric Sierra car that he had just posted about on Instagram. that turned out to be a fantastic conversation so I left it in, but that is why you won't hear the intro to the episode for a bit. It sounds like a fantastic project and it sounds like a very cool application for an electric motor.

If you haven't seen Cole's run up Mount Washington, you should definitely take a look at that. Cole took 2nd place over all, and set a new record for the rear-wheel drive class.

Lyfe Motorsports is building two unique cars for the 2022 Pikes Peak Hill Climb. The first is a Prodrive built  GC chassis that is being updated with all of the best modern motorsports parts from a Rallispec engine to a Sadev transmission which we are really looking forward to see on Pikes Peak in a couple of months. The other is their 2015 Nissan GT-R known as "Frank the Tank". Cole ran the car at Pikes Peak before, but this time around it is being converted to rear-wheel drive, and it will have a Power Stroke Diesel under the hood.

This was a great conversation for sure, and I hope you enjoy it.
