Says the unofficial record between the overlook and the state line is "around 10 minutes".

Yeap, that is it. He was there on Saturday at the overlook for a while with his bike with a few cautious friends. Don't ask how I know.

I beat it is in the nine minute range. It is a guarded secret, just as he is.

I'm processing my "about 10 minute" run video now...

I can "see" breaking into the 9's but I would need to keep my foot in it when approaching the blind corners that open up on the other side. Living in Florida and seeing the road once a year, I don't trust my memory enough to do that. I would only have to be wrong once.

Yeap, and he can do it in the dark I beat. Read the article, the clue is in it. That is freaking nuts. In my younger years when I was sharp, I mayyyy have come close. I am so rusty now it took 2 days to dust the cobwebs off.

Let's just say I rattled the guys cage when I said a bike would be faster than a car....LOL One mention of Mr. Davis and information started flowing because he thought I was an idiot.

Maybe I shouldn't have posted that. Oops

I did find the pictures of the guy above and the mystery man.

You're welcome to join us. (That involves getting out of bed rather early though)

^ I can accept this. My '13 with no add'l oil cooler was running between 220~240 all weekend.

Depends on how quick you are. I can take it up to 270 if I'm using 2nd and 3rd gear on a morning run (temps below 70).

If I am back next year with this car I will be adding a 25 row.

I already have the 25-row in the garage, didn't get it in before ZDayZ.
