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.

Cool vid! That RAM truck had to have some challenges in the twisties.

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.
