smart up a mountain (road)

When the video finally comes up, I had a camera in the back while I drove up the south grade on Palomar Mountain in San Diego County. Anyone who saw the Tour de California bicycle race last year, saw one mountain stage which went up the very same road. I was going about 35-40 mph through most of the turns having a blast. I pulled over at one point and made a motor home disappear. I dubbed some music at the beginning, then went to the audio from the camera with the radio playing in the background. Toward the end, I turned the radio off and you can hear the engine with the Doug Thorley cat-back exhaust pretty good. The camera was on a tripod right over the engine compartment. My next video will be from the camera pointing out the back with three other smarts following me.

Thanks for asking. Go for it - whenever it come up.
And I'm talking about a mountain, not a hill. 7% grade most of the way up.

You're welcome.

I still cannot view the video - the vimeo page says "the video is still being uploaded".
