Can't view the link because of Websense (pricks), but I'm assuming a car/bike is flying off the road. That's part of racing if you're in over your head IMO. I'd love to have some local hill climb events.

As long as you dont try it in a Viper, seems everyone can make it up the hill!

(Lots of crashed Viper videos dontcha know! :D )

Somewhere I have pictures of a yellow NSX on its roof off the east grade of Palomar.

And a DB9 on its roof on Sunrise Hwy.

Unfortunately very bad things can happen on that mountain. I have first hand experience with a casual cruise going very bad.

I had that happen on Angeles Crest. The little bugger ran down the slope and under my wheels. It was him or go off into the trees.

Little buggers are fine but make sure you know it's an actual squirrel or something of that size because when you run into a racoon head on and think it's a "little bugger," I guarantee you your car will get owned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Racoon >>>>>> Front bumper, ac condenser, radiator, power steering belt, and electrical fans!

Lesson learned: If it's a squirrel, whoops! If it's a racoon, dodge it!
