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.Originally Posted by Ran Kizama

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.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.
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.
I was there. Sorry you couldnt come, but you had better plans anyway,next time. Plan one up and Ill go for sure(on a sunday)
heres a video(the dude said he forgot to turn the sound on):

its a bad video, he kept his distance for some reason...
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.heres a video(the dude said he forgot to turn the sound on

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.
i know what store youre talking about. its at the top of 129. ive never done a mountain run at night, would be interesting. ill pm you now, i might be interested. might be cool.Nice vid man.

Are you crazy? That's dangerous!

Dang, me and Frank were up there on Friday night.
We wanted to go back Friday but being sick, the altitude was hell.Dang, me and Frank were up there on Friday night.
Been up there a lot lately and I've seen no more cops than usual. They are not a common sight.

A great majority if not all of us are much slower going downhill. It just fucks with your head and its scary!Heh, probably.. hard to miss my car up there.

Let me know when and if you plan on going
jamal, did u get a radiator?

Eh, you'll be alright. I went up there in my Yaris and all it has is springs. Body roll Hell.
A great majority if not all of us are much slower going downhill. It just fucks with your head and its scary!I stayed a steady 45-55mph going downhill and still felt the backend of the Yaris oversteer from time to time on the tight corners. I'll stick to climbing. I can see the road ahead a lot better and plot my line. Love those corners tho. Nothing better than going up the hill full throttle and having to look out your door window to see where you're going because the corner is so tight.
yup

Passed them on the downhill and then turned around at the little shop camper type place at the bottom to catch them on the uphill.
I don't like downhill even in a car. I'm all about climbing.

Ahhh it's cool! The cavy handled the more aggresive roads damn good but I guess I took the cruise down into Helen lightly and it shoved a fist in my ass for it. Besides learning about that particular turn, i learned who all the egotistic asses are here on IA
Dominic and Paki were cool people though and I'd definately go again in a heartbeat
