Oh nice....did you get me when I got motion sickness and overshot 2 corners from being dizzy. Talk about an out of body experience. I need to load up on the dramamine next year for the night runs.

Funny thing was...I got better 2 hours later...went out again with a passenger and the passenger wound up getting sick too. THe night runs are craziness!
Haha, I remember seeing that happen - it's when you mis-shifted right? Should be on video, but I haven't watched the whole thing yet to find it. I'll probably have that one done tonight as well.

Gotta love the night runs!

Great work Andy. I had a blast on all three occasions..... yes, even our off road excursion!

The night run was amazing as always. ZERO traffic. Can't wait to see some skyway footage. I believe Philip got some good stuff as well.

LOL! Look at the face of the driver in the white S....he didn't look to happy to be on that road
Actually I was having a blast. I believe I was the one who said, "Oh shit, gravel road! Hell, lets just do it..."

It was one of the best days I've spent up there. However, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with a low car

the mis-shift was before I got dizzy. That was just my S giving me fits....every once and a while she'll do that to me. I think I was trying to get it into 3rd on the straight....its always 3rd gear when it happens.

Nice vids so far

So you were the guys that passed me and Szandals! You passed me at 5:38 in the video
Awesome! I was surprized to see so many other S's up there that night. In the past, I usually have the mountain almost entirely to myself and my run group. Glad I could get some video of you!!! haha

Thanks Mike! Night runs are one of my favorites moments of the trip. It's the only time you can run hard and get really long stretches of road (sometimes the whole thing) to yourself. It's a regular thing for me, and hopefully we can make it a regular thing for a group of us. Sure isn't for the faint of heart though!

Sadly, I don't think I got any skyway footage... I don't know why!

By the way, if anyone featured in these videos (or not featured but still interested) wants a full resolution version, let me know and we should be able to work something out. Worst case, I send a DVD to you. Best case, we use a place like megaupload.com or similar.
