Didn't seem to be as many switchbacks as Pikes Peak. The dirt section in the middle was pucker factor worthy. Looks like a fun race. Thanks for sharing ![]() Mike You can run, but you cannot hide. If you won't stand behind our troops, feel free to stand in front of them. | |||

Hell, that's a pretty tricky drive at normal speeds, can't even imagine what that race was like. Huge drop offs literally right next to the road, Been up it once, that's enough for me! _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A Veteran is someone who wrote a blank check Made payable to 'The United States of America' for an amount of 'Up to and including their life'.

Pretty spectacular run. While I don't believe it is nearly as many switchbacks as PPHC, I am sure I wouldn't want to do that like TP did. I believe the guy was born without a fear gene. He is balls out with everything he does and this video shows how intense and focused he is. ___________________________ No thanks, I've already got a penguin. | |||

I've been a fan of his for a long time. Great driving. I love that his cars are built in Vermont. I've driven that auto road it's bad enough at 20mph, can't imagine doing it at those speeds especially without a co-driver. !~God Bless the U.S. Military~! If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off Light travels faster than sound, this is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak | |||

I've always said that Rally style racing on dirt and snow is probably the most intense car racing I see. Others may disagree, but getting loose and sideways on the side of a mountain or through a town just can't be beat. ______________________________________________ Aeronautics confers beauty and grandeur, combining art and science for those who devote themselves to it. . . . The aeronaut, free in space, sailing in the infinite, loses himself in the immense undulations of nature. He climbs, he rises, he soars, he reigns, he hurtles the proud vault of the azure sky. — Georges Besançon | |||

Looks like a ton of fun, rally & hillclimb type stuff would be quite a fun sport to get into. Not too much of it here in TX, aside from rallycross. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

There is a big bicycle race up the road every year. I did in once back in the 90s. It is crazy. | |||

doesn't look all that fast a lot of the time until you realize he averaged a touch over 77 mph. I'm gonna vote for the funniest frog with the loudest croak on the highest log. | |||

I've driven that road before and it is steeper than it looks. Rally drivers have to be THE BEST drivers in the world, hands down. ------------------ Eddie Our Founding Fathers were men who understood that the right thing is not necessarily the written thing. -kkina | |||

He was a busy feller wasn't he? Love me some rally videos, those guys have some serious stones! Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

Watching the bit toward the last with the yellow line whipping back and forth underneath him as he chose his obviously straighter line, I was reminded of one of the expressions I remember from my late father. "I pay my taxes, I'll take my half wherever I want!" ![]() | |||

Driving up that at 15 mph is enough to scare the shit out of you. | |||
