Nice: 2 questions: 1- How long is the walk from the parking lot to the watching area? 1/4 mile - 1/2 mile. 2- You didn't document the launching of the cars: I'm guessing a hydraulic catapult, like jets off a carrier. A cannon, like in the movie Grand Prix? and lastly: what's the criteria for winning and the prize money? Safe Travels!

Thank you. I was wondering if I could get up closer with my scooter. I don't think my scooter and the battery would last on that long of a trip. Been disabled for many years and with out it I'm done. Now I know 👍🏻 The only thing I saw that bothered me was people go up the hill to pull stuuf off the cars that didn't make it to the bottom. They could have easily broke one loose causing it to roll down and over people at the bottom. I was a Firefighter/EMT for many yrs and that did not look safe. See y'all next year 🇺🇸
@Buoy4AKАй бұрын
You’re more than welcome! And yes, there was an ambulance standing by. Besides the danger of falling cars/debris on the hill/cliff, that raging river behind us was no joke! That, & just that many people in one place, seemed ripe with opportunity for a medical emergency of some kind. Thankfully, the ambulance crew had nothing to do but enjoy the show 😉 Solid maybe on the scooter. The ground was firm with about an inch of glacial rock flour (“silt” with a consistency of talc & sticks to everything). If your scooter had tires 6” or bigger, I’d bet you could make it. If it was raining, well, that might make things pretty slick. Either way, there’s only really one way to find out 👍

OMG, the cold in Alaska must be affecting your minds (in a good way) I am so in. I want to go to Alaska so bad, stuff like this just makes me really want to go. That Class C motorhome was the best. A little scary really, the way it just imploded. Looking forward to some bus videos, hopefully you can trace that offending wire down soon.
@Buoy4AKАй бұрын
Thank you! Yes, the elusive “green & yellow” wire has to be in there somewhere! If not, maybe we’ll be filming how well a Wanderlodge fares in next-years event 😜 We’ve gotta say the tradition of fireworks has its place, but this form of community really feels more “American” (even for gearheads like us who really had a crush on some of the vehicles like the Barbie Corvette & Fall Guy truck❤️🩹)

Yes, we hope you make it up! C-130 raised the hard deck due to very high drone traffic (ours was not one of them 😎). Realistically a TFR & NOTAM might be justified with this many people & manned aircraft (although no part of this entire evolution is what you might call “safe” 😉)

No you haven't just added more air with the air pump, the air reaction system injects air into the exhaust manifold to encourage unburned hydrocarbons to react and burn completely in the catalyst. The system was used before catalyst was mandated federally as well, but the hydrocarbons are burned in the manifolds.
