When you coming back down it even FEELS like 800 feet. Whatever it is its sweet though! How fast can you guys make it up the hill? Ever been timed?

I agree that Devils dune is more intimidating!

Seemed to be steeper to me![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

67MPH is very impressive, last year with my stock raptor I was having to shift into first gear to round the top. What kind of mods have you done to help you out so much in the dunes?

I had a feeling you were pulling our leg but didn't want to be an a$$ about it. It's a steep hill I can pull 3rd 2/3 of the way and have to downsift to 2nd afte4r that, It's a tough hill to go up fast.

The last time I was there, there was a 440ex trying it and he didn't even make it a 1/4 of the way up the hill.
