Rod Millen – 1994 Toyota Pikes Peak Hill Climb Celica, 1974 Mazda RX3, 2000 Toyota Tundra Off Road TruckTo learn more about your host and his racing history click here. 1994 Toyota Pikes Peak Hill Climb Celica: The Pikes Peak Toyota Celica raced in the Unlimited Class at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb to claim two overall victories and set the fastest time of 10:04:06.

The Pikes Peak Toyota Celica shares little with its production inspiration. A potent 2.1 litre turbo-charged inline four cylinder mates to a tube frame chassis and runs through a custom four-wheel-drive system. The one piece carbon composite body shell looks the part, but is all about aerodynamic performance. 2000 Toyota Tundra Off Road Truck: To support the launch of the new Toyota Tundra, MillenWorks Racing was contracted to design, build, and campaign a racing Tundra in the Championship Off Road Racing (CORR) series in a highly competitive Pro 4 class. Despite a weight penalty for running an overhead cam engine, Rod Millen finished second in the 2000 championship. The Championship Off Road Racing (CORR) Toyota Tundra was designed entirely in CAD to optimize all structural elements for weight and stiffness. MillenWorks Racing also worked diligently to develop the four-wheel-drive system to reduce weight without compromising reliability. The result was an extremely light and nimble vehicle, despite imposed weight penalities. 1973 Mazda RX3: Three time winner of the New Zealand Rally Championship from 1975-1977. |
