Celtic1982citleC is an unknown quantity at this point

I will not be driving "the road" this time cause I'll be in a car I've never driven. BooooO!

This road can get you in trouble really quick, and compounded with the falling leaves means the surface may be very slick. This is especially true to those who don't know the road, and its off camber and blind corners.....

Please give each other room between cars so if you fuck up you don't take out others. If your cars' tires, suspension, and/or brakes are not up to par don't push it. If you truly don't know the dynamics of your car or have little aggressive backroad driving/track experience don't push it. It won't take much at all to spin a car on the road.

Any other time I wouldn't really say this but for this weekend, STAY IN YOUR LANE! Tourists are up there this time of year checking out the foliage and heading to LP. A head-on collision around one of those corners would be deadly. Bike are notorious on this road as well.

Not trying to be a dick about this, I just don't want people/friends getting hurt this weekend.

Dad spiel done, thanks
good advice thanks...i will be on my bike that weekend!

I assumed the side road would have been done on the way back home and I was gonna bail on that anyways. I'm gonna be working on about 2 hours of sleep that day and in no way will I put myself through some erratic driving.
