Features 3

This is the longest course utilized by the SFVISBF. It's worth the trip as it will challenge all drivers. The hill is a dead end on the bottom, we should be able to control the uphill traffic and make it safe for everyone involved, there is nary a car on this road. The are some double yellows but we think the group can handle the road if we cork it successfully. The road is isolated and subject to the lightest of traffic.

At testing, we got in the low 50 mph range on it's fastest sections.

There is one sharp turn that you'll most likely need to use your breaks on.

There is an uphill section, slow cars may have to get out and push (we did not). There is a good bomb section right before it, if you stick it good with no breaks, it's not a problem.

The course length is around 2.8 miles long.

There is a "Road ends at 750 feet" sign, that is where the cones will be. You have plenty of run out.
