Thumbs up Canyon Drive 101

I am not good enough to write all these, I gathered them from others.

Rule #0: never post any idea of when or where the run will be. PM people for info and try to keep it only pepole u know or u know someone tho knows them.


read #16: which group are you? I am the my own pace group.

Canyon Drive Rule
#1: Stay at the back if you know you are not gonna drive fast and furious. (in my case, I don't know how to drive fast)
#2: Don't put soda in your car
#3: drive at your own pace (slowguy626)
#5: dont die (#5-14, sigma pi)
#6: dont crash
#7: look out for cops
#8: you arent driving to win a world championship so dont drive like it
#9: have fun thats why your there
#10: who cares how fast other people go. they werent takumi thier first run
#11: make sure your car is ready: tire pressure, nothing rolling around in the cabin, floor mats wont catch the gas pedal, ect
#12: look out for oncomming traffic
#13: go with some one. they dont have to be a pro but it would be better if they know the canyon. if you crash and go off a cliff you have some one to go get help
#14: never get behind francis haha jk on that one
#15: look out for pedestrians (slowguy626)
#16: Divide up two groups. The Inital D group, and the drive at my own pace and chill group.?

#17-#19 (MrTouge)
#17If u can do a PreRun to see how the roads are looking. see if there rocks or new things with the road that where not there last time u where there or wetpots/dirt/mud so u know where not to go to hard and where you will have less traction. suprises suck a$$!!!
#18Keep your eyes on where u want the car to go...do NOT look at the walls or cliffs. it will make things seem easyer as people have a tend to go where there eyes are looking and if your looking at a wall and don;t want to go there u have to fight that. keep your eyes on the exit of the corner and try not to look at the wall.
#19and lastly watch out for bambe. dears can mess up your car good BUT if its too late don;t try to doge it....hit it coz its better then loseing control and going off the cliff or hiting a wall....walls and cliffs do more damage and almost always total they car...dears don;t unless its REALY big

Don't say that, or else he'll find out about rule #1 as well. opps. I was just kidding francis. I know I drive very slow, that's why I gonna stay at the back anyway. As for rule #2: I didn't know that before, thanks for giving a good lesson to the newbie.
