Has anybody seen the You Tube (or posted on Race-dezert) video of trophy truck going down the grade? The lens makes it look narrower than it is (I
hope)....but WOW!David K - 2-7-2009 at 08:39 AM

It is not that narrow. It is one lane except for the switchbacks and a couple of places where passing could be done. Basically the racers were single
file for a ways. This is after the metal gate. I have been told the gate is sometimes locked. I never saw any sign of a chain or other means to lock
it. But who knows.

I had to back up a couple of times in my GMC. Also in my Toyota when I when down it in 1995.

The road overall is well build or well maintained. It is a great view coming down.

Someone lives there. There was a dog near the door way when we went by but we saw no one.
