great road.. just have to have respect for it... i use to do midnight runs on friday and saturday nights....

Simple rule... fast in the corners and slow on the straights

But only do this once u get to know the road well.. keep an eye out for the corner speed signs.. u wont want to add more than 5km/h on to them

Great rd.. have fun on it

[evil_weevil]

I guess we should remind everyone that it is a public road

[scathing]

Slow in the straights is politically correct generic advice. Well, adding 5km/hr to the signposted corner speed suggestions will still keep you under the speed limit so its also acceptable.

As for whether 5km/hr over the corner signpost speeds actually constitutes "fast" or not, I'll leave unanswered.

So why post?

Just so everyone is clear. Yes it's a windy road and no, we do not condone doing anything on it other than driving sensibly at or below the speed limit.

Dont speed, go at sunset and it will be a great drive. Its bluddy hot and I wouldnt expect the turbos to like it today

lol i was waiting for a SAU disclaimer.

its a nice drive. No where near as nice as macquarie pass.

bells line of road going to lithgow is another great drive!

[evil_weevil]

I think thats one of things I look forward to when I goto mates places in Bathurst/Mudgee - Bells Line!!!

Apparantly theres a mad country road from Lithgow to Bathurst which takes alot longer than the GWH - I know JETR23, DJ Brave, mznismo, Sam916 couldnt stop raving about it when they came up and saw us race at Bathurst!

[EJD001]

lets go find it then!!!

the road to Tarana, S%^t yeah!!! most awesome road, we need Wayne as a tour guide, its a beautiful flowing drive through the country with some nice open sweeping corners where you can see miles ahead and the od nice twisty one aswell . I vote for another roadtrip there sometime when I'm back over here visiting from WA.

oh...and you wont find it that easily looking on a map, you really need somone who knows the area, i don't even know if the roads are mapped.

Not if your car is low.

My car's at factory height and I bottom out repeatedly. Its worse north of the Waterfall entrance, but even in that bottom section through the trees there are a few spots I'll spark out.

That said, I took the girlfriend's MX5 through the entire run and it was great.

Drifting Mac Pass would be fun if you had the skills to do it. Quite obviously there is absolutely no way you could actually do it without crashing into oncoming traffic though so we will all just have to dream it.

lol factory is pretty low in a z scathing.

I remember many years back when I was in the Siliva Australia club on a cruise getting a little too tail happy in a SSS pulsar on that route. Not happy Jan!
