I think it starts at 9, but people used to show up earlier and it used to be over at around 11. Being picked up would be nice. I think I'd be banned if I showed in the 'rolla... It's super dirty.

I can't recall if the accident was on a Saturday or a Sunday. One day it was damp, but the other (the day he crashed) there was no precipitation.

Yeah, he was claiming it had been raining. That was why the roads were bone dry and he kicked up all that dust. What a horrible driver, did not make the slightest move to recover.

If the guy had been willing to flatspot his tires (if they even have much tread... possibly they don't), he could have nailed the brakes as soon as the back end started coming around and he would have stayed on the road.

But nooooOOOOOoooo... he had to try to SAVE it. Heh heh.

Are these really "gravity powered racers" in this video?

Yes, they are. They come up there every month or so during the summer. The lart is not usually up there, just the soap box guys.

You ever see this one?

Saw that last night, but not on here. Right after the one of the guy dismounting his bike in a most unusual fashion.

Not exactly the way I like to show off in front of the camera, but hey, whatever floats his boat.

Saturday driving through Palos Verdes I spotted a Ferrari 599 and a Ferrari California, both in red.

Some great roads up in PV, but too much traffic/residential to drive spiritedly.
