road has really gone to ****, gravel, potholes, and patches all over the place and especially in the good corners.

ugh yea


the last run of the day, we had just got done hiking around, the parking lot is between the 2 halves of the road there in the video. i pulled out and went down to the river taking it easy, near the bottom theres a line of 4 guys from a honda/nissan/evo meet. evidently its a bigass midwest meet with like 100 cars or something nuts. so i see them vroom vroom vroom vroom they go past me in a tight line. i'm like 'oh ****, i'm not passing up on this' and grin at my girlfriend. i pull a fast U in the parking lot and rip back off down the road after them. i get behind a slow TL (i'm 45sec atleast behind them), we get to the straight and i'm able to pass (in a legal passing zone!). i close the gap on a red S14 and keep up with the pack through the climb up, we part ways as they all turn around to go again. i didn't want to press my luck, i got a little loose around one corner and they were flinging alot of loose gravel at the car too.

my fingers were tingling, pulse was racing, and my breathe was short. it was fun.
