    You got a 4-seater or a 2-seater that doesn't work like that, you take your camera, put it in a tripod, and duct-tape (or something similar) to the back left side of the front passenger seat. That way, you aim the camera, it looks out the front window, and if you're lucky like me you can see the shifting a little, and you can see the tach, the steering wheel, and a little of my speedometer.

    How many people coming and what's it gonna be like? Meet at the Walmart, cruise up, drive hard, go eat something, then start back?

    BTW now weather channel is saying it'll be cloudy and windy, high 50* F. That's not bad, I only mind the rain.

    I don't want to sound like a dick, but the speeds most mountian runs are taken at are a high risk for an accident, if you mean little man by a kid I'd hate to hear something like that happening.

    looks like its gonna rain you guys be careful if you go.
