Mountain Runs

[jlnewton]

Went for a bit of a Mountain Run on Mt Nebo with 46n2 last night. Not a bad stretch of road, some nice challenging sections, might have to make an appearance at the next Mad mountain run. Looks like heaps of fun. Any other recommendations for places for a good mountain run?

Mt Tambourine is ok, but through the Numbinbah Valley to Northen NSW is where the previous Mad mountain runs have been and they've all been err..MAD:)

Nebo has a much better surface than tambo. Some of the gold coast hinterland mentioned above is good also. Go to the end of Nebo and turn right....long open road.

Sunshine coast - maleny, connondale etc also good.

There is a BIG Mountain Cruise coming up. Keep an eye out.

tried Mt Glorious ?

[46n2]

Jason - give me a call if you're up for a run this weekend. I'll have new rubber and swaybar in

[jlnewton]

Micheal - New sway bar and new tyres, very impressive, not to mention the full service. What rubber did you end up going for? Don't know about this weekend, I have an assignment due Monday which I still haven't started, and Saturday is already a write off.

There is a road, I can't quite remember, out past Woodforde that cuts back through Mt Mee and ends up near Samford I think. It was very tight. Dad used to take me up there in the mini when I was learning to drive. Gotta love dad's style, learning to drive mountain run style!

I probably have been up to Mt Glorious, in fact I am sure of it, it just so long ago I can't remember the road.

Grandparent live in Lismore, there used to be lots of great mountain runs around there but most of those roads have been upgraded since then with all of those bypasses and stuff.

Slip.....Shot gun behind you. Just remember you heard it first from me, here.

Mt. Nebo / Mt. Glorious is probably the best in QLD. Go on a Sunday and race all the bikes. I went when I had the line with a mate in his 180, a supra and a s13 and we raced these two bikes. Got to the top and stopped for a drink and they came up and couldn't get over how well we had done....very cool spot but you gotta be fast not sideways cause if you hold up the bikes they get ticked...I love the big signs at the bottom that have a pic of a bike and the words "Speeding has killed on this section of road"

One of the best bits of the mountain is a section down to the left (north) of the main road when you come from the Toowoomba side, its about half way along. It is VERY steep and great for drift as no other cars use it much. Go in the wet, the bikes aren't there and you can get all sideways, just remember that there aren't always guardrails to stop you so be carefull on un guarded corners

congrats on getting into the under 2 sec 60 footers. nice launching. wish i could get mine to launch like that.

any tips?

Wayne - I get a wicked launch by using A boost (stock) in 1st gear, then step it up to B boost (high) just after second. Takes practice and a trigger/scramble mounted on the steering wheel helps alot....
