But next time we all need to take 985 N to get there it's about an hour faster for every one.

    ...normally you yield to the faster drivers, especially if they're buried up your ass like Peter North. I moved over a few times to wave a car by because i wasn't exactly comfortable with my tire setup and wasn't going to risk anything and certainly not with a passenger

    the mountain was fun. but it could have been better if they hadn't changed the plans at the last minute and didn't bother to tell anyone. me and diego were ridding by ourself for a while untill we met up with bruce, (thats fucked up). the eg handled pretty good for a front wheel drive untile my brakes went out so i had to slow it down (i was close moe). oh and about the srt4 that shit fucken moves on the mountain we've been to the mountain with him before and he kills that shit, but his car was acting up real bad thoe

    Tell him to get it running because i'll be ready...i've seen them several times up there and even with good driver's and sticky tires they seem to be sleds with bad understeer. If I had a more predictable tire setup I would have been sliding side by side with the green miata and 1st red bimmer

    I would guess very well with the LSD and tuned handling by NISMO.

    No use in repeating it, just have to video the next run...we all know a stock suspension srt-4 will plow through turns, even with a great driver hammering the throttle with perfect timing.

    I have an in-car camera mount but no camera (mine took a shit on me) Thomas was gonna let me borrow his video camera but we left it at the shop

    no need to ask them, i got behind him at the bottom before they all went straight at Turner's corner.

    They handle quite nicely. I had one with me the time I went last year (October I think?).

    There's a bunch of S2K's and Preludes going up to the tail April 21-23.

    I wouldn't mind doing one of these runs though. Someone needs to give me a heads up! I'll have my Azenis on after this weekend!
