It's usually very hard to convey the extreme steepness of something like a mountain trail or the massive size of a wave, in a photograph. Jmce, your picture does a good job of showing how steep that ramp is. I'd want to double check my breaks before approaching that ramp.
See Post # 18 for a better perspective of the steepness of that ramp.
Ha! Stay tuned in the Atlas thread I created in Racing.
Thanks JD. Liked on facebook. I see that a friend Rod Favela is a distributor as well on his site. Sailed with him at a few racing schools.
Yes, Rod is a good friend and a huge asset to Varkaros. I'm excited to be working with him as well as being a friend.
That US281 idea is interesting; the only nasty part of the drive home (99.9%) on I35 is Austin-Waco-Dallas. Texas city traffic patterns are a disaster. Texans has yet to learn the lesson that plagued Atlanta; that the only real cure to crappy city traffic is population density, and not wider roads.
Exactly! On our way to San Antonio we would usually hit Austin around rush hour. You could enter easy enough on the north end but getting out of the city on the south end is a nightmare! Ft Worth isn't much better. US281 is mostly 70MPH and there are passing lanes. Nice countryside and places to stop like the Koffee Kup and Wiseman chocolates in Hico.
