man i quess i could do that. and even faster. growing up in tn. runnin the levee that was rock at the time at over a 100.miss and your DEAD.and with old cars that all we did was take out the glass and move the gas tank. it was fun but when you 18-19 yrs old you are bullet proff.and usaully full of kentucky tavern.( a cheap but good tasting whiskey!)we just called it runnin the river.my buddies left many a car upside down in the water for the wrecker crews that would find them.we only gave abput 25. fpr a v8 car back then so we didnt loose anything.now that i think back on it i was one big FOOL!i wouldnt even think about doing something so stupid now, hell i cant even navagate a wal-mart parking lot!so if you read all this sorry for wasting your time! lol

maybe its just me ..... but damn that dude is going slow as hell :(

At 35mph it takes over 5 minutes, King of the Hill is 1:31 and change.
Those 2 runs were not at my maximum effort as I wasn't yet comfortable with the changes I did to the car to really wring it out. I'm running on the ragged edge of the tires I'm using so cannot run the car to it's full potential. It's faster than it looks on video ! And the fun factor is really high !

Thats awesome. I wish there were vents like that around here to get in to. I think the only reason it might look slow on the video is complete lack of body roll !!! Very cool bud. And you could definitely tell you were pushing harder on that second run. So cool,so jealous!

Good stuff DD!!

DD!! I forgot to mention that my brother & I have a good friend that has a Ranch in Emmit, ID where that video was done. Small world... his name is Paul Drake... good guy.

TheYellaBrick 07-31-2012 07:32 PM

Is he a car guy ?

Scooterz 08-01-2012 09:41 AM

Nahhh... he is a rancher above & beyond everything... I think that place keeps him so busy, he wouldn't know the difference between a post, Belair, or fastback; but he is a good guy who would NEVER vote for Obama so there is a common ground. ID has good people... my kind of folks.
