Gee, you watch that video and wonder how an amatuer in a 996 twin turbo could possibly get into trouble and go flying over the cliff in a similar rally :roll:

This may be one of the rare instances where all our lawsuits were actually for our own good :?

Great vid, John. Reminds me of a typical track layout/driving experience Gary gives us at the A-X's :shock: . :lol: :lol:

I really like the "nod-snap" of the driver's head every time he up-shifts ..... just like a 944! :lol: :shock: :lol:

Yikes, you can almost feel the power of that puppy. I have mucho respect for hillclimb and rally drivers. What a choice if/when you make a big mistake. A granite wall or a looooong off with a bad landing. :cry: :cry: :cry:

Here's a link to a monster off in a New Zealand rally by a TT:

I also have great respect for the guys that do these hill climbs. I respect their driving talents, but question their sanity :lol:
Of course, we have a local version called Mt. Palomar where on any given week-end you can see the fast and the foolish.

Little wonder that we prefer to watch road racing over NASCAR.

Hey, lets get all the NASCAR guys, put them at the start of a nice rally and say GO!, let them do their "rubbin is racin" with each other around those curbs and cliffs :lol:

Then I will be watching NASCAR :twisted:

Nice trip up Mount Palomar. I wonder how he got them to close the road for him?
