I know a couple of people have been up there in the past 2 weeks...

Me and my buddy took the Yaris and Miata up to Blood Mountain this past weekend. Fast uphill climb with banked turns. Pretty curvy road too. The Yaris did okay. Took it 7mins to climb the mountain.

My buddy lost the tailend of his Miata and smacked into a guardrail though. Thankfully all the damage is just cosmetic. Yea, that's about it. I wanna go back.

Ah. That must be Frank. He was talking about this at school this morning with me. lol He didn't seem the slightest bit happy. I just told him to get a widebody kit for cheap and just rivet it on. Haha it would hide the damage at least.

Anyways, I need to do some mountain runs. I've never really been on one before, and it seems like it would be fun if there aren't any cops around.

He'll feel better on Thursday.

You should come out with us next time. Hopefully Frank will have some non-drifted tires then and we can really see what he can do. I should also have my intake, header, and exhaust then too, so maybe I can cut my time down a bit.

Also, we didn't see one cop all night.

Nice vid man. Would have been better with sound. You can also see why we go at night. During the day there is too much traffic and you gotta stick to your lane. Late at night (11PM+), there isn't any traffic (maybe 1 car every 30 mins) so you can use the whole road.

On the vid, at 4:15 you pass a small store on the right. There is a large parking lot that we use as an turn-around point. It's pretty much the top of the mountain and you start back downhill after that. Another good thing about that spot is that there is a spot around back where you can stand and watch others run down the mountain. Pretty cool to watch.

We're planning another run up there before long. If you want in, PM me and I'll toss you the details a few days before we go.
