ps...if anyone got a pic of it or any vids please let me know....it was the red hatch....
Most of the incidents happened when we where in small groups (like 6-8 cars or so). But I have to say that learning the hard way sucks but it seems that all got off a bit on the lucky side. Tanks could have been much worse! Heck, my mini-drift could have been worse (and it wasn't lack of experience...I've been on mountain runs before).
Jason if you ever wanna do a run let me know...Some friends and i go a good bit!! We also do a run every x-mas.....There is no one there on x-mas...Its like need for speed..lol
ahhh, i see some familiar faces in the pix. the next one, when i have my teggy back and if i'mnot working, you damn right i'll be thurr!!

I want to do a run at the Gap. I've just had more success up there in getting in good runs w/o much other traffic to worry about.Quote:

lemme know when ...........i was thinking on doing that for the x-mas run..
x-mas runs won't work for me. Family comes first! Plus I'd think that there would be snow up there already which means salt and other things you'd not want to do any kind of spirited driving even near.
I'm thinking early spring but we'll see...
let me know when and I will ride with someone and take pics.
ok...im gonna make a post about it soon.....itll be x-mas mtn run for those with no family..lol....
Some people just didn't know how to handle their cars.. it's ok though, they learned real quick what not to do.. I have to admit, I think I scared the shit outta Jason! LOL
hahaha, thats right, you were takin the cavvy up there, werent you?!?! hahahaha thats great
Should have seen us on the last run down this little road after we left Vogul. Several 180 turns and some killer flip flop twisties. ;)Quote:

It's always more intimidating when you're not driving. You are not in control.Quote:

i'd like to ride up there with someone at some point. i want to overcome my fear of the mountains. no one so far is willing to help me out with overcoming it.
looks like yall had fun. :)
Kristi, if you trust me, you can ride with me next time..

somehow, along the way, it turned into a rumor that it was the vette that spun out or got sideways... someone corrected that for me once we got to the park.
The Supra did not spin out till we had left the park coming home. Jason got his prelude sideways on the way to the park.Quote:

It was after we left the park actually. ;) We were on 129 and heading back towards 180 after that U-turn. They guy in the green car was behind me (sorry...I don't remember what kind of car!).Quote:

Of course my wife about flipped out but she was less cool about me hitting a lot of speed (I'll leave it at that) on a small straight on 180. Let's just say that I love my brakes! :goodjob:
I got the sideways part on vid but there was nothing but trees behind me when it happened so it's hard to tell. There was more background movement in the video afterwards when we went up 180...all those quick snap-backs got me dizzy watching the vid!
well i trusted james when we went up there but i still got really scared - but i think it was the teggy issue. but i need to overcome my fear.
thanks tiff! i will let you know!

Yeah the run was a lot of fun, my first time on one (and it taught me to never use cheap brake pads again...ever!).
Yeah she does.Quote:
