yep; Mullholland has more tight twists.
But this road in the video is my kind of road to unleash the beast

Nice, next time try just a GoPro Hero!

Hey man let me know, I haven't been up there in my car. Been there with my bike and it was a ton of fun. Lets plan this by Sept. I may have to go to Canada for a few weeks in Aug. and then Germany for another few weeks in late Sept. Even if it is just you and I.

I am running a FabSpeed resonated X Pipe and a Megan Racing exhaust. I need to shoot some fly by video. I think it sounds great.....my neighbors not so much as it is a bit loud in the morning. :0

I knew it had to be aftermarket. You just cannot record that kind of sound inside the car from the stock exhaust. Sounds good man.

But, WTF was a tractor-trailer doing on that road. That sort of thing should be outlawed!

Cheers,

If you go to http://killboy.blogspot.com/ and check out some of his pics you'll see that trucks are certainly not an anomaly there and are becoming more and more of a problem....oh ya, and that was a rather small truck compared to some of the moving trucks that come through there.

A few pieces of advice (sorry if it's all old news to you guys)... break up into small groups to do your runs so you don't bunch up too much. If you get stuck behind someone that just won't stop in a turnout to give you space... after a few turnouts just stop and wave the train past you. When traffic clears out, idle up to where you can see traffic coming up behind you from a ways off (usually across the valley to the next corner) and don't go until somebody is coming up behind you...that maximizes the space ahead of you.
On at least one run, stop at the bigger turnout for the overlook and enjoy the view (assuming it's not fogged in!).
If you see somebody at the side of the road patting their head, there's a man in a hat waiting somewhere down the road to talk to you... you'll want to be obeying all laws when you see him :-)
The one trooper I saw was broadcasting K or Ka pretty strong so they don't exactly try to be sneaky... it's mostly putting out the flag to remind people that they can't get too crazy.
And finally... if you see somebody broken down or wrecked, stop and help... you're in the middle of BFE so you need to look out for each other.
Have fun!
