Looking for a Pikes Peak run

A while back I stumbled across a video (it might have been on youtube) of a red Evo doing a run on Pikes Peak. It wasn't a everyday Joe Evo though. It was fully built and looked like it belonged on Pikes Peak. In the video the car had a minor accident a little past the half way point but recovered and continued racing. I'm looking for the entire run ~20 minute run, not just pits and pieces of it. Thanks for any help.

Hell yeah, this is it. Thanks a lot. I really just wanted to watch it again. It's a really good video.

Here's 2008 when we set the AWD Time Attack record when the car was just a few engine bolt-ons and a big wing running rally intermediate tires (road was half paved, half dirt):

...for some strange reason, the time was never beat, and in 2012, there's just Time Attack (no 2wd and AWD divisions), so a new record will be set this year.

Here's 2009...my first time running the car in the rain (about 60% paved, 40% dirt):

2011 (about 80% paved, 20% dirt):

Fully paved now.

Here's the carnage pics:











The thing that really kills me is that even with getting stuck on the hay bales for ~30 seconds, we were only ~20 seconds from the class winner. Of course Stephan Verdier was running just about the same times as us (he was a second or two up on us at the half way point), but he crashed out in bigger fashion on the exact same corner:
