for your first outing in you car with your p's putty road probably isnt the best idea for you. its a pretty dangerous and challanging road

Yes, well you know we will be there, Adam. Christian has been hanging out to do that run, as he had a broken wrist on the last one. Not that i think i did a bad job! I quite enjoyed myself.

i have to concur with zertek and domasik on this, putty road is a very challenging road and not one for the inexperienced or light hearted driver: full of bumps, crests, off camber corners, motorbikes doing warp speed and nasty surprises at every turn, its very easy to stack from experience.
here is a crash i walked away from in may this year (i was in the front passenger seat with a totally experienced driver at the wheel and the lastest traction and stability management) to this day i look at the pics and say to myself that im lucky to be alive!
dont take this as an insult, we r sure you are a good and capable drivr regard this as friendly advice, get more road experience behind your belt first.

like Sam4A-GE_Seca mentioned.......... just get a bit of experiance under your belt and go on this road. its not at all i repeat NOT AT ALL safe for inexperianced drivers.
Just a friendly advice as you spend more time behind the wheel you will gain valuable experiance on reading the road and condition.
just my 2cents.

It is a public road, so if you trust yourself to drive within your limits (have you found out what they are yet?) or at the reccomended speeds, then its a perfectly safe road, but for an inexperienced driver to go chasing a bunch of psychotic toymodders through a series of blind crests, off camber curves and hairpins, You might find yourself in a spot of trouble. And if you do have an accident, its about half an hour ride BY CHOPPER to the nearest hospital, and the walk to a telephone to get a towie (or an ambulance!!) can take up to 4 hours.

Yeah, but the high speed corners on the ridgeline near the start would be damn scary in a loose car
