Very cool, The paved run was not quite as intense as an autocross, just much longer.
The all dirt was much more exciting.
I wonder what the hay bales are supposed to do tho?
The Tail of the Dragon in western NC is much tighter and you have to stay on your own side of the centerline of the narrow two lane road because there is two way traffic, you can't see whats coming on most of the switchbacks and there is no runoff shoulders. Rock wall on one side and dropoff on the other. 318 turns in 13 miles!.

There are many times during that video that I thought to myself, "He's going WAYYY too fast to survive to the top."

But he did.....
