Default Mt. run vid

Me and a few friends went up to Kitt Peak. Its an Observatory here in Southern AZ. The fun part is the run up the Mt road. There where 2 of us with cams a yellow SC viper and I. The road is very technical and while the vid might not show, the pucker factor came in a couple of times.

The Mt goes to 6745 feet from ground level.

enjoy guys

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

The go-pro blocks out really bright objects so it blocks out the sun...but I wouldn't put it past some aliens too

It is, I had a pretty good clip while it doesn't seem the way the vid was cut I was ahead of the Viper had a pretty good run between 60 and 70 had to slow down a few times to hit some hard corners specially the last one it took it down to 15 mph and as you can see had a little oopsie moment.
