Only in the U S of A ! Call that a bend , it`s only a minor kink in the road .
That is the Silver state Classic ORR in Nevada
I have run that several times
Distance of race is 90 miles
Here is the
180 MPH average speed I ran in my 1994 ZR-1 Corvette racer
Thus was through the mountains with many blind turns, cattle and snakes gets on road you had to watch for.
I had to do all the math beforehand to figure out each turn in road so that I could compute by elapsed time when they were coming up as
most use another person as a navigator to tell the driver when to make the turns
I never used another person so did both tasks.
Traveled each mile in about 20 seconds
I would make up a spreadsheet and calculate each turn and elapse mile
Then using my brain power
to translate my calculations
Using
2 toilet paper rolls, some curtain rod, made this to tape onto the center of steering wheel and with thick racing Nomex gloves would turn
the rolls with my thumb to keep track when turns were coming
Covered the 90 miles in about 30 minutes flat
Lost about 10 pounds of body weight as you sweat a real lot !
After about 10 minutes your mind gets used to the amount of road covered so quickly that after that it is like your going slow
and the hard turns, sweeps, and S curves seem like you going in a straight line
Real bitch after the race as it takes like 2 days to slow down in normal driving
My speed/time course notes
old banger import ripe for trashing just like the Citeon DS flying off the top deck of the transporter ! How the values of those have risen in recent years !
was more the Carnaby Street set of the Swinging 60`s but that would be in the dark ages for you ! Although some well heeled folks bought into the MIni mania and had flash upgrades by the likes of Radford . Peter Sellars being one who had a Radford Mini Cooper complete with basket weave doors !
