The mission for this section of road

[greg g]

Catch the Toyota pickup before the end of the hill. I pulled over to set up the camera and a green Toyota flashed by as I was pulling into the turn out.

This turned out to be about a 3 mile long uphill run. Can Kate pull the hill and catch the Toyota??? Its a 4 minute vid so if your puter runs slow you might want to skip it. The sound is mostly wind noise from arm out driving.

If the lik was bad it should be up now.

Looks like you have some great roads and scenery for touring in an older car. Also looks like your car performs pretty well.

Greg,

Nice work! How much above the limit did you have to go to catch him? I guess I should ask what the limit is on that road because that way I don't need to incriminate you but we all want the bottom-line dirt.

That sure is some lovely scenery and the car sounded fine. Thanks for the post.

The state limit on unposted roadsin NY is 55, most folks travel about 60. Speedo was indicating 65 Give or Take most of the way up (little slower for some of the turns) Speedo indicates about 4 mph faster than gps. Most of the run was done with plenty of throttle left.

I was suprised by the scenery and topography of that route. I hadn't been over that section of road before this run. If you go to google maps and put in route 206 Walton, NY or Downsville, NY you can take your own ride along that road by pulling up the street view. Going south, there is a sign indicating entrance into the Catskill Mtn's Park area. the water is the upper Deleware river. Certainly is a beuatiful area.

about a 800+ ft rise in just over three miles from 1175 to apx 2100.

Great movie, Greg! I especially liked the sound of the engine when the rice burner came into view. Was it me or did I here it gain rpms? Anyway, I really enjoyed the ride.

about a 800+ ft

So the bottom (or top) line is it took you 4 minutes to go 800 feet. I can do that in creeper gear:D

Greg,

That is a beautiful drive from Roscoe to Downsville to Walton, I have been driving that road since 1976 as we use to live in Madison County and my parents down here.

Thanks for the ride in the coupe, I enjoyed it

The Big M Supermarket in Walton has a huge walk in cooler with many brands of beer and their prices are reasonable:)

Mental note to self "don't race the black coupe"!

[greg g]

Niel there were always more Rpms available as the pedal was not to the metal.

Here is a shorter one taken a couple miles before the long one, sorry about the advirtising but that what happens on thse free hosting sites.

Greg, I knew your coupe was fast but WOW that thing moves. Thanks for the ride. Are you going to reedsville this year?

[greg g]

Hadn't given it any thought as I got everything I need except motivation....Are you and your posse going? I think I am going to try to make York next year in the truck.
