I used to practice my racecraft on this stretch between 2am-5am, starting from the call box @ 1:58, down to the lower 45mph sign @ 5:03. My time was 2m04s, before they put in the large facility halfway down the long downhill straight which is now a set of S-turns.

Cops rarely patrol on dev slide cause it's too dangerous, just 1 mistake and you'll drive off the cliff or into oncoming traffic. LOL The rainy weather isn't as bad as the landslides.

so... anyone wanna race me there? seriously =]

@F2OOOGT My record is five hours and thirty-two minutes. Rarely ever ride Devil's Slide without a train of slow cars in the way.

dang, do they ever fix the roads in cali? Potholes, tar snakes, uneven pavement, cracks...sheesh. Nice view, but the road surface sucks.

[soliqsoliq]

There are a lot of really crappy roads in California. How do you think they'd pay for road repairs, it's not like we're the most-taxed state in the country or anything.

is this freeway 1 ? big sur coast ?

[soliqsoliq]

It's Highway 1, but north of Big Sur, just south of San Francisco.

i like the high definition but for my computer there is a little bit of buffering that makes it take a long time to load the video

[F2OOOGT]

@soliqsoliq roflll I just drive like 15-20 mph from Linda Marr, to the callbox on the bluff, it gives enough space usually from cars up ahead, if not, I'll pull over in the turnout, and wait for a good gap before starting, it's definitely worth the wait. :D

[F2OOOGT]

@soliqsoliq ROFL I know what ya mean man, in the daytime it's often crowded with slowpokes. I just either stop @ the turnouts and wait for a big gap, or I'll create a gap by driving like 15-20 mph from Linda Mar / pedro point side... people honk and flash headlights, but once I get to the start points, I floor it usually leaving them behind after the diving right / left turns @ 2:17

It's better after 2am tho, no other cars, pitch blackness, and most montara police in shift change till 6am =]

[bipod11]

are those pot holes or small valleys ?! ;)

[20stevieray]

brian davison, talkin about potholes and such, try pittsburgh lol were full of them :)

[naminseniazei]

@BryanDavison

Although the road is full of cracks and pot holes..the quality of the pavement itself is way better than our roads here in Greece!

This road is terrifying when it rains.

[CaptainNPM]

What a shame. It looks a 5th world road. But nice view and video.
