anyone do a fast time than 4min30sec through galston gorge.
starting just before the 5km twisty road sign at the top on the hornsby side, and finishing at the first street name sign on galston side.
i did that in my old escort.
needless to say she had some work done to her she wasnt wot youd call stock (cam,twin webbers, extractors, low ratio diff and a shit load done to the suspention.)

its soooooooooooooo much easier to go UP those hair pins cos the camber is right for it like you can take more speed into them. but going down them is not so cool if you dont take em mega wide. the only easier part about going from hornsby side to galston side is a few corners on the galston side are better going up em then down.
and jorsh did u just crash at the gorge thats not cool hope your ok and the car aint a right off.

Those hairpins are awesome going up!
I was doing them the other night. Handbrake about 5-10 metres before corner, then POWAH! GOing up is better IMO coz you have more control (less momentum/inertia/whatever).....

Try going up those hairpin turns instead of down.
|
Without using ALL of the oncoming traffic lane.

well the point is u don't do this stupid kind of driving (my fav style hehehe  ) during the day u do it at nite.
Cos at nite u can use both lanes and see the head lights of other cars so u know if other cars are commin.
but yeah it is fun going up them too.
Galston gorge is fun both ways.
I recon the council planner who approved that road musta been a hoon hehehe.
