Pescadero RD? Ha, the final resting place of my first FC...

Sorry I missed you guys today, I couldn't get off work in time. Sounds like it was pretty fun.

Alpine at night is crazy. Did it in the summer, and you don't go straight long enough to have the headlights light anything up other than the hillside, or the edge of the road.

Some of those roads were too bumpy for my super low car. My buddies Z06 that is at stock ride height was scraping the air dam the whole time.

How were you guys doing?

The easiest route is exit Page Mill, Page Mill becomes Alpine then Pescadero Road while at Pescadero right on Stage for final rape on your car. LOL what did you scrape bro I was wondering why I was ahead so much. How come nobody stopped me to take pictures lol. I guess everyone got a headache!. Nice run with all you suicide drivers - we were careful yeah and nice meeting you all.

For everyone that is planning on night run the best route is

Black Road to Skyline, to La Honda. Test your mad skills here doing whatever your car can handle and no scrapes but be careful I have tested the limits of my car here.

I have done Page Mill and Stage at night and they are not safe there are a lot of deers on the road so be careful!!!

hm I could have sworn I wrote a response.

TJ and I were scraping a lot on the road before the stop sign where we saw that cop

It was the teeny tiny road that went into a "valley" if you will. His Z06 is stock ride height too!
