Red Mountain trail 5/17

[seven]

I got off work yesterday at 1 and decided to head up the Red mountian trail that is north of here. It is a pretty fun trail. I was surprised that my friends minivan kept up as well as it did. If anyone ever wants to come out and run it I usually work half days sat and my day off is mondays.

Cool stuff. We did that a few years ago as a NAXJA run.

XJblue's rig had a few straight panels at that time.

My wife and I nearly bought that van a little while back. How'd it do?

The van did really well, for the most part it kept up with my xj. We thought it would be more top heavy and would sway, however it really seemed quite stable. The van however was the one that decided to turn around first, something about how it didn't have A/C and the passengers were too hot. I was surprised how well it did.
