Im not so concerned about the drag racin as I am about stop and smelling the roses and enjoying the beauty of that place. When I looked over the top of the big hill I couldnt believe my eyes.

Sandman- most info you find will tell you that the hill is about 700 feet high, however you are not able to run to the top most part of the hill because it turns rocky and near vertical, so the actual runs are a little over 1/8 mile and about a 600 ft high climb. Like Mario said, these hills work your motor hard and will bring out any flaws in them, many a motor has died a quick and painful death on these hills.
I have run Nitrous on these hills and if you're squeezing off the line you'll need to be able to hold the button for at least 20 secs to finish the hill. The first vids in my sig has DSaholic running Nitrous on the hill and that will give you an idea what to expect. I ran 15/43 gearing with 22" 10 paddle extremes and felt I was over paddled for racing but it was a great set up for dunning.

Major, you and Hightower are killing me, quit giving out all the setups, GOSH!! This hill is shallow, and they need at least 14 paddles!! Dont you remember?
Oh and I almost for got, now that we have a three man race, I like to keep things even, so lets add a fourth. Scatter, this is your official callout to! You best get that thing in the 300lb range, cuz its the only thing going to give you a chance. I dont know why I have to run all the BIG bores, but hey what do you do?
Man dont follow us up the hill, there'll be alot of laughing gas being spent.
Holy crap I just had a thought. Think about this, the backside as we call it, or the fourstroke hill if you will, can facilitate about 20+ quads racing. Could you imagine the video of 20 Ds's racing up that hill at once[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Now that would be a sight to see. Then off over the back for the long ride, all 20+ ds's in tow. Oh ya its going to be good!!
