Many years ago I was leading a few former Pelicans down TTOD in my RX7 and was cooking along. Having run the road many many times I had gotten to know it well and also knew what to look for regarding other drivers / riders.

As I was cooking around a sweeping corner at a good rate of speed, a motorcycle was riding in the other direction, you always give them a glance. If they are patting their helmet that means there is a cop ahead, if they are waving their arm frantically, like this guy was, STOP!!

I hit the brakes as hard as I could and not kick out the back end, the moment I saw his arm waving. I stopped with the nose of my car under the trailer of an 18 wheeler who was trying to squeeze down the road. I just barely stopped in time not to smash my windshield into the trailer. Glad I had good brakes, if I had been in my 911 I would have hit him, I could not stop that car in as short of distance. Especially mid turn.

I never pushed that hard on there again, we found a better road way to the north of the Park that rivaled TTOD but with no traffic (Or LEO) and it dead ends at the state line and turns to a dirt road.
