  1. If not the gravity/flesh/gravel equation will get the job done…

  2. Excellent course for a shifter cart! Totally drift every corner. Hit the straight, put the pedal down, hit the entrance, tap the brakes to bring the rear around, and start steering with the gas pedal, second u hit the apex mash that fuel to the max.
    Weee!

  3. Reminds me of Going To The Sun Highway in Glacier National Park.

  4. Very, very easy to fry the brakes coming down that kind of grade. Should stop when you smell them and let them cool, or you'll convert your bike into airplane mode. Yes, I have some experience: there is a grade near me that goes from 1200' to 4600' in about four miles.

  5. Looks like it's the eastern side of the Stelvio Pass. 48 switchback on the east side, 45 on the west...
