If you look at 17:50 on this video, you can see a squirrel nearly get decapitated by my front lip. Luckily it jumps out of the way at the last instant and was safe.

Posted this in the other thread. But I mentioned that I was going to post it in this one, so...

Open run.

10:13

Last of the scenic drives. Here is the Cherohala Skyway run:

What you need it some mounts like I had a few years back.

Do you require a front license plate by chance?

Mandatory in the Republic of Virginia. :(

I'm probably going to build something that mounts onto my tow hook plate bracket.

I should put something like that on my tow hook plate bracket too.

Never miss an opportunity to DIY.

nice videos fellas.

Updated post 2 with links to all of the videos and pictures posted so far.

DIY or die, quite literally in Steve's case.

Thanks! :tup:

So I guess I'm going to bite the bullet and attempt to overcome my fear of navigating through seas of orange cones. :ugh2:

Autocross?

Give yourself about 3 events to learn how to "speak cone".

The microseconds you take to decipher what you are seeing, and respond, add up to big chunks of time by the finish line. After a few events it starts to become more automatic. (although there will always be courses that are tougher to "see" than others.)

Yep.

I did an autocross event many years ago (~2004) and was overwhelmed. I am pretty sure I hit every cone on course, including both sides of the gates.

I have feared orange cones ever since. But if I want to go faster this is probably the best way to practice for The Dragon.
