Very cool That looks like a single lane road? Are the other roads in that area, Del Puerto Cyn. road, Mines road and Hwy. 130, good runs also? Might be worth it for us down here to make some runs up there?

Del Puerto Cyn is good. Mines is very rough, and caused some damage to one of my wheels there once.

Yes, Patterson Pass is pretty much a one lane road, and you have to take great care because of the many blind corners.

If you are thinking of making a Mini Club run, you will lose about 80% of the fun factor. These roads are no fun with other cars around you.

Looks like "Need For Speed" game.

What rock? There was an asphalt patch on the road there at 6:08, maybe that's what you saw?

Must be; from that perspective it looked big enough to avoid.

Didn't even feel it. It's a wide angle lens, and on the vid, looks bigger than it really was.

I was a fan of the Allman Brothers loooooong before Top Gear was a glimmer in anyone's eye. Actually, it wasn't my first choice for the song, but it fit the length of the video.

Camera: GoPro Hero Wide Angle
