Swede Ola Strömberg is well known for his balls out driving style in his turbo SAAB 99. In this hillclimb event, his engine blew in practice, and they swapped it over night. For some unknown reason the new engine ran way too rich, and the only way to make it to the top was to not lift. At all. EVER! The contrast between the balls out attack and the ridiculously calm voice of Ola over the intercom is hilarious! What a hero!
