Onboard: Pastrana Sets Mt. Washington Hillclimb Record

Subaru Motorsports USA driver Travis Pastrana set a new record of 5 minutes, 28.67 seconds at the 2021 Mt. Washington Hillclimb on the way to an overall victory in the “Airslayer” STI, his 862-horsepower Gymkhana 2020 Subaru WRX STI. The new mark cut more than sixteen seconds from his winning time from the 2017 race up the 7.6-mile Mt. Washington Auto Road.
