as far as driving fast on 129 goes.. believe it or not, it is much safer to drive it fast at night (which is mostly when I went) for a couple of reasons.. first off, there is little to zero traffic escpecially in the weeeee hours of the morning.. also, throughout all the switchbacks and stuff you can see headlights of oncoming traffic for a good 1/4 mile ahead of you and you have plenty of time to slow down.. the only bad thing about night is the animals.. When Steve and I got there we had to take the Dragon on our way in, this after being up for 25 hours 16 of which were driving, even then the road wasn't THAT challenging, if you know how to drive, etc.. we almost hit a deer and by saying almost I mean it was about 50 yards ahead of us and I downshifted, applied the brakes and we let him go across the road.. other people just got stupid, that's all..

I have in car video of my runs day and night.. you'll see that although it felt extremely fast, the speed-o really never really got above 50 in the straight sections, the people that wrecked were trying to drive in excess of 55 mph in areas where the limit was 20 or at most 30 mph, in the curves, not the straightaways and taking the widest curve they could..

Snid, I'm open for sponsorship, you willing to come up with the fees for me to go on a track?..
