That's very similar to the runs i made up/down the Smokey Mountain's and such a while back. Except mine was all through the eyes of the in-car camera mounted in the back. Odd thing is, it looked like i was only running 25mph

I don't mean to spoil your fun...

I don't mean to spoil your fun, but it doesn't seem like you value your life very much. Sure, driving on a winding road is fun, but why a mountain road with on coming traffic? In the vid you crossed over the double yellow line a few times. If you want to risk your own life fine, but why put other people in jeopardy? I guess I just value life more than you. I like putting my suspension to the test also, but I do it on winding roads without the drop. One mistake and your life could be over. I don't mean to preach, but don't you read the threads about Maxima Org members who have died?

smart move having someone monitoring traffic, but things do happen. That retaining wall doesn't look very high and a car can easily jump it. You may be a good driver and all, but still looks risky to me. What's the posted speed limit on that road?

that wall is built its about 3 ft thick and about 3 ft high, of course its risky but so is drag racing or auto-crossing, h*ll even driving down the street at 15 mph is risky

I'd rather crash and burn going 15MPH down the street than 60MPH on a curvy mountain road

where route 94 meets route 23 is franklin, i think your talking about 84 cause thats in milford/port jervis. when your going down 23 and its 2 lanes, right before you get to 84, thats a fun drive going up.

the place im talking about is a state park on 206 before you hit dingmans ferry.
