umm well let me try to answer your question. I have put 25 to 30 hours of preparation into this with Ender. I have yet to feel unsafe at anytime. Actually I have been running crappy touring tires during most of the practice runs. 90% of the "cruise" is at or slightly above the speed limit. Yes 5 hours of mountain driving is tough on any car, that is why we ask that everyone have their car in tiptop shape. I can think of only 3 laws I have broken on any of the practice runs.
1. Camera blocking the front window (barely)
2. Not obeying the suggested turn speeds. (who needs to do 10mph?)
3. Once when I was bored, I spun the tires when taking off at a stop sign. (well as much as a tiburon can)
Really this cruise is more about sight seeing and hanging out with other car enthusiasts than it is a race. No one passes or even gets on their cars that hard. Actually I can count on one hand how many times I pushed the pedal to the floor. Seriously I have more danger driving to work every morning than I do on mostly open mountain roads. The risk of anyones safety is up to the person driving and let me tell you, anyone acts up in anyway the cruise is over or 18 other people will beat your ass.
I hope that clearly defines how we feel about this cruise and how important it is that everyone safely makes it home so they can go next year.
