The time of 8:02.65 to the top was the 27th fastest time to the summit.
Note: do not try this at home. Mike Ryan is a professional race car driver. The road was cleared for the 2011 "Climb To The Clouds" race.
Mount Washington is the highest peak in the Northeastern United States at 6,288 ft (1,917 m), famous for dangerously erratic weather.
A weather observatory on the summit long held the record for the highest wind gust directly measured at the Earth's surface,
231 mph (372 km/h), on the afternoon of April 12, 1934.
Mount Washington was known as "Agiocochook" ("Home of the Great Spirit") before European settlers arrived.
