guys...the horse has been beatin

As we said, after the run there was plenty of flaming done to the guys who were going wide, etc. There is another run this weekend, im pretty sure it wont be like this one

Normally they are all subies or all evos, I think the mix of the two may have gotten to the best of some of the drivers. Lessons were learned, etc ,etc

 

Im not singling any group out, we cant wait for videos to pour in of everything that happens. If i saw a guy doing donuts at an intersection on the summit, id be like your a f'king idiot. Same for the graffiti, not that its done by drivers, but it sucks that theres more and more graffiti on signs and guardrails in the mountains because its gonna create more patrols of the area. Then a car flys by a 20 mph corner at 40 and the cop is gonna whine and start chasing you (us) down.

Thats awesome that everyone realizes what mistakes theyve made. Ive made them to, not as bad as the ones described, but yeah ive fixed them and unless we are all 16-17 year olds we should be in control of our actions by now.

theres a big difference between drivers from now, and ones that were driving before drifting was even a word.

 

cool, im glad to hear people actually spoke out about some actions at the time and place.

 

yeah, its not like we were all patting each other on the back and going "damn that was awesome how you cut the corner like that bro!!!"

 

LOL i never know these days, i see a lot of dumbasses on the road, fast and furious/nopi tunervision only makes it worse to think about hahaa! I work with one, i go to school with a few, and occasionally see them out on the roads.

 

hey guys, okay i just found this thread and didnt get a chance to post earlier.

I was the white STi driver so let me just put my own insight on this. the silver MR waved to me that i should get ahead of him. i know that turn seems very sharp, but it was not a 180' hairpin like so many people mentioned earlier. it was actually pretty wide, i could clearly see what was ahead of me for a good 100-150ft or so. HE SIGNALED ME TO GO AROUND thats why you see me earlier in the vid on the other side, but there was not enough space to go around him then. I never would have passed him if i was not confident that i could get by him without an incident.

Another thing, there was only a select number of times we acctually even crossed the double yellow. we were in our lanes for most of the drive, only times were to go around a bike, or in aldouse's case to keep with the pack.

with all that said, i respect all of your opinions, i realize that it was dangerous to pass him, and i admit that, but i am not some stupid *** kid who goes driving like a maniac all the time, it was a fun drive and we did respect the roads.

Thanks to Aldouse and ucbsti for having my back and not leaving out to dry!!! they were there and can speak from experience exactly what happened.

and good vid aldouse, im suprised the tripod didnt fall over.

 

haha I usually wait until night before my romps get this hardcore though. I think I understand what you guys were doing. Cool by me as long as you knew what you were into.

 

i didnt even hear tires breakin traction...no handles!!! take it to the max or go home with that ****t!!!

 

yea dude ride hard, then we can be like takumi!! (note sarcasm)

aldouse slowed down during the drive in order to get shots of everyones cars. and you can here his tires break traction every once in awhile. its hard to hear everyone elses tires when the cars are spread out like they were. and the point is to not lose traction, we werent DRIFTING!!!

 

I don't think people are playing favorites, its the danger factor in motorcycles.


its important to bring up sport bikes because a car vs a bike will equal in the guy on the bike getting Killed, and the car most likely fine except for damage. Guys that ride bikes do break laws, of course, but the difference is that they are putting themselves at risk, not others to the same degree as a car does. if a car goes over the double yellow and hits a biker then i garuntee the biker is ****ed where the driver of the car will be fine. if the biker goes over the double yellow and hits a car, again the driver will walk away. I've seen it personally, and its a scary story.


when it comes down to it, cars are not at as much risk as bikes.

 

yea thats a pretty good point, bikers are at a higher risk compared to cars.

 

I not sure this post expected this kind of reaction ~ but, it certainly woke some people up, eh?

I think the bottom line is you are are SHARING the road ~ yes, we can all be dumb and make mistakes. But, to cross over intentionaly is simply lame.

Everyone of us has had the expierence of coming around a corner to find someone else where he shouldn't be... why increase those %'s?

We all bought these cars to woop it up... don't deny it. I think those of us that were vocal are only saying. 'use your head not your ego' on the road.

I cannot deny, it looked fun. But, that fun can turn ugly REAL fast!

Peace

 

that explains it a little better, at least we or i know your not some ego hungry guy. Honestly when i saw the video, i envisioned some guy leaned back in his seat, looking at the EVO all cocky as he passed, like haha look at me im cool, pretty much exactly what this qoute below says:


its cool you took all these posts in and didnt get all fired up, like i was when i made the first 5 posts in one hour... but i couldnt believe it, its something you dont want to believe. Kinda like when youve been eating at a favorite restaurant for years, and you see hidden camera video of the chef stuffing the food down his pants but you say..."meh, its still delicious" ok that was gross but you get it?!

Of course i pointed you out, and named your car and color and all, just so people can reference the exact scene i was talking about. I dont know you at all, so its not like i was trying to attack you or anything.

Its just people that dont leave their egos at home that really get to me, they dont pull over when the guy behind is clearly faster, they think theyre badass when they cut the corners when others are afraid etc...

So i guess the lesson is you cant trust an EVO and its actually more dangerous to cut over the yellow while passing than it is by yourself.

Im glad i got to put my share in for all the 16 year olds reading this. Its like parking at highschool, there are fewer spots throughout the year as people turn 16. There are new kids on the road every week.

cool and peace -Kyle

 

anyone that knows me, knows im the complete opposite of that. there was never any hatred or serious competition between the EVO and the suby's, in fact on of my best friends was the White EVO driver. and everyone is always saying how close to the steering wheel i sit . anyways, just wanted to point out that if you dont know me, then the video does really make me look like an *** i guess. its only the weekends that i really push my car, i drive like a grandma the rest of the week.

 

Thanks for sharing your Sunday drive with us. You video shows me exactly why I don't like being on the roads at the same time with a group drive, where some people drive over their skill limits and endanger non-participants. Somehow when people are in a group, the herd mentality causes people to feel they're more invincible and do whatever to keep together with the herd. You comments about cutting the corners to keep up with the pack clearly show that.
