Yo,
What's funny is we just ran there after Sevenstock. I didn't know what road it was until the very end with the "ROAD CLOSED" gate. I took a picture right there.
The sand on the apexes are a *****.
Way to represent with the GTUs.
RIP to the FF kid (if this is where I think it is)

Yeah that run was awesome.. they stopped right as it got more technical.. and dangerous..
We were there in the day time and there was NOBODY around.. looks like it's a popular place in the eve.

something else that would freak me out is the other lane of traffic....
i dont get it...
it that just a deserted road, or is there some kinda blocking going on....
cause even if it is deserted, i mean theres still a chance of some wagon or some **** just barrelling down the oncoming lane, and it seemed to be a pretty slim road?
help with some understanding?

It's a dead road.. pretty much goes nowhere and there is a non windy road that goes there too.. So two roads going nowhere and one looks like this and the other is a nice clean road.
When I drove it I stayed on MY side of the road unless I could see WAAAY ahead to know I could use the other lane. Even thou it was dead there were still about 6 vehicles that went by in the other lane over a 1 hour period of time.
Don't get me wrong it's WAY dangerous.. Touge is serious.. about a week and a half ago our buddy Rob was up there in his TII. This kid in a Civic went over the cliff with his bro in the car.. his brother died.. Rob ran down to save him but the back of his head was bashed in and brain was comming out... Scary **** man.. needless to say.. I don't drive past my skill on roads like that.. and I factor in some saftey as well.

theres to many variables when doing that kind of ****, and if somthing bad happens, theres not much room for error. Iv messed around on a lot less daunting roads and have had some very close calls. I still had my race tires on (slicks) and if theres a little dirt or whatever on the road, you go sliding.
