The full run on-board....

Amazing how smooth he is; very little oversteer, and short-shifting out of the slower corners.  A joy to watch.

Still not quite the same since it was fully paved, and with safety rails.  Not necessarily worse or better, just different.

I see electric cars and even electric bikes are in this year.  Some idiot also broke 9min for a BIKE!!!!!!!  A Ducati no less  ;)

Evan, thanks for revisiting Climb Dance  ;D
