Real Rural Road Racing: Land's End Hillclimb video

[elkduds]

Motorsports fans, here's a video that puts you in the driver's seat of hill climb racing. @ Land's End, climbing Grand Mesa on a narrow, switchy dirt surface road in my old Kannah Creek backyard. Racing starts @ 2:40. Over 80 mph, no annoying guardrails or safety barriers. Buckle up, buttercup.

Cool video and certainly a beautiful road to drive up. Great way to get out of the summer heat.

My old stomping grounds. I never would have thought about racing it...scary ! Use to be some really good deer and a few elk at the top.

Yep, the big leagues on Pikes Peak, which is now paved to the summit. There is a circuit of shorter dirt road hillclimbs in Colorado.
The Temple Canyon race is held a couple miles from my house, only about 3.2 miles long. There are classes for MCs, quads, sxs, trucks, open-wheel cars at all these races.

This one is held every year on highway 318 in NV. It's open to almost any vehicle.



Sometimes this happens.

I've killed a pile of elk and deer within 3 miles of Lands End Road.
