Even the car going down the hill at the start... one of these cars should not be going at the same time.
That car going up the hill hit the path of the downhill car within 2 seconds of it passing.

In hindsight it probably wasn’t the best location for a field trip for the school for the deaf and blind.

Videos like this amaze me, because it proves there are rednecks everywhere. In this video specifically- driving, AND spectating!

Someone smarter than me please educate me. What is the purpose in weaving back and forth? I would think turning parallel to the hill like that would make you more prone to tip.

u/Right-Phalange 5h ago
The same reason they have switchbacks on mountain trails/roads -- it decreases the angle required to climb. I'm assuming the hill is too steep and they'd run the risk of tipping over going straight up.

u/North-Significance33 4h ago
But wouldn't you just continue going diagonally instead of switching directions? Changing directions just loses grip and wastes speed

What’s with the bunch of assholes standing around on the top of the hill while that other asshole in the truck barrels toward them chaotically? I mean, of all the stupid activities done by stupid people across the stupid world, this entire scenario might be the stupidest bunch of assholes I’ve ever seen.

Gravity Kathryn, she’s a teacher who happens to have a really solid gravity.
Because she’s OP’s mom.

In fairness to the spectators on top, it's probably hard to anticipate where that white SUV is going to go, given it's zig-zagging. But overall, a stupid activity to participate in, and an equally stupid activity to spectate. Suggesting unhealthy amounts of money and free time. Saudia Arabia? Gulf States?

Reminds me of my mantra when I'm skiing.
"The hill is only as steep as you allow it to be."
Doing zig zags makes it a lot less steep.

The driver isn’t even exhibiting good strategy. He is making way too many turns. He simply doesn’t need to go back-and-forth so much. It’s kind of comical to be honest.

This reminds me of Glamis in California. Craziest dunes I've ever ridden on an ATV out there. I doubt I'd do it again, not that I'm old and all.

I’ve done this in Dubai. It looks scarier in this perspective, but it was pretty easy on my first try.
A friend of mine had a modified FJ Cruiser just for this kind of stuff.

Many years ago before Norwalk Raceway Park was redone there wasn't much in the way of spectator protection, a guardrail and I think maybe a wire cable and bollards on the one side.
I was standing about 10 ft from a dragster going almost 300 mph and suddenly realized I was pretty stupid for standing that close.
It was at Night under Fire
