This was after the Corning meet last month. Some of the people wanted to video and take pics of me going down (more dangerous, up is the norm) the hill climb at night. Two of us ran it. The first vid is my neighbor Jason in his '98 GT. The second is me. Just after my clip is when I wrecked my car avoiding a big Dodge truck that was coming up the opposite way.

These are off a guys Digital camera so quality is lacking. I have video from my Mini-DV but haven't had a chance to upload it yet.

Watch these vids with the volume turned way up. The commentary is priceless.

Here's an in car vid of a racer taking the Hill Climb uphill. Gives you an idea of the road.

Haha, right on. Holy shit, Matt. How fast were you going?

your exhausts sounds purty

Scott- I'm not sure but it was pretty fast. I actually had too much entry speed and was pushing the first half of the turn. Then I got on the throttle and induced on throttle oversteer coming out. It was fun.

Ferrari- Why thank you very much!

I swear I'm not posting this out of guilt!

Matt is no joke of a driver. I've ridden with him on that road, and it's the most ridiculous road I've been on in a while.

Matt's got the driver skillz to pay the billz too. Crazyness.

yeah Matt this thread kinda slipped by under the radar

Corning meet?

Wrecked car?

where have I been?

I gotta say though CES Exhaust FTW, hearing your car makes me warm and fuzzy inside.

Phil- Aww shucks, you made me blush.

Sam- We had a meet in Corning NY through SL-I. At the end of the night some of the people wanted to see me run the hill climb so I did. It ended badly when a big truck was in the middle of the road coming over a blind hill/corner with another car behind it in a downhill, tight ass S turn just before a hairpin. I had to choose between the embankment or a sheer cliff into the woods. I chose the embankment and tagged a rock with my right front. It busted up my wheels, bent the hell out of my control arm and blew up my ball joint. Minor body damage to the front bumper too but nothing too bad. It was hairy close and if not for the skillz, I very well could have died and/or killed others. It was pretty insane.

New in-car vid at bottom of first post.
