Because of my slide show style video player, I couldn't get a full feel of the curves, but just about all of what I saw was an uphill pull.  I could tell there were some very nice curves, though.  I'd rather be hitting them uphill than downhill.

Sweet lookin'! Looks like a lot of fun and nice scenery too.
I've got to get some new shoes for my Fiero before I go on anything like that tho.
You can't fix stupid but, you can adjust it with a 2x4.

This video was all uphill...I screwed up starting the camera on the run back down.  I found the run back down to be much more of a thrill...but it was mostly because I wasn't fighting to get the car up to speed.

How did your brakes hold up on the downhill run?

My brakes held up fine....but Colin cooked his.  I think I was using the curves to scrub off speed rather than the brakes.

Well, been there, done that... I've boiled my brake fluid TWICE on the Dragon. You would think I'd learn...

Looks like you both had a nice, smooth ride and stayed pretty much inside the yellow lines... great job!

if by "...using the curves..." you mean, sideways, then yes. that what it was.   ;D
