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.
dave kern's ams evo. its on youtube. he also posted it in this "motor sports" forum of that particular accident.

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.

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:
