Bitches... didn't see anyone up there.

And on the way down my clutch finally gave up on me... glad I didn't have to go through town or anything, just stayed in 3rd/2nd gear most of the way home changing like twice. I guess that extreme pressure plate isn't too friendly to the slave cyl.

i just got back at around 10:10 or so....

I was there, i just did a run up to the radio towers and back down again. I almost lost control on the clusterfuck of opposing 25mph benders on the way down, about a mile or two from the bottom.

Im still trying to figure out what I did to unload the rear end, im thinking too much body roll. I ended up getting sideways and almost crashed into the gaurdrail on the other side of the road.

so, yeah.... good times.


with my new shocks and springs i was able to hit the 30-35s at 60-65mph.
