I just drove up there last month. I swear I do not know how they have the nerve to do this. This makes F1 and NASCAR drivers look like they are taking a walk in the park.

I have driven up the Mount Washington road, not this fast of course, and not even close to this run in terms of all the twists and turns. I would like to go there some day.

Actually for me, going up seems easier then coming down. I remember keeping the car in low gear so I wouldn't burn up the brakes on the way down.
