How do you celebrate your 60th birthday when you are hillclimb legend Rod Millen? Well, you invite some of your close friends over a day of hooning on a stretch of custom-built private road that runs through your property.

Inpsired the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the "Leadfoot Festival" included some of Rod's most famous competition vehicles including his Pikes Peak Celica and Tundra. The video clip above shows Rod running the course in the Celica.
