I have no idea why he was tailgating me on hamilton, I had 2 cars in front of me and the 5mph RS in front of you guys, I have no where to go.
Then on the freeway he passes up soren like he's faster or something.

yea... WTF is his problem ??? on the drive last time... we were going down the hills about 20mph after someone crash... and he was tailgating me the whole time which is no need... because we were going 20mph down the hill.....
the RS was going pretty slow down the hill... but i guess he was just trying to be safe .....
i guess he thinks his stock sti is fast or something.... but i'm sure your or soren's wrx will smoke him easily....

next time if he's going to tailgate me again... i'm throw something at him...

Then stop posting like you are in fact butt hurt about some n00b making comments... you're mad cause I blew my opportunity to make a U turn and had to go back up and make one? wow such a sin.
Still haven't justified why you weren't headed down the mountain when we were clearing out.

My friend Sean Blurr was there w/ me at the LIC booth, but scanning the parking lot I didn't see 4 others. And I saw several people depart on a drive up the mountain 30 minutes before. Knowing that at least two of my friends went up with them, I was going to go up there anyway to make sure it wasn't any of them. I offered Kevin the EMT a ride but he rode w/ someone else.
As you know last year one of the forum members crashed his STI on the mountain a couple turns up from where Johnson rolled. I was in the car when he crashed and knew that part of hamilton is especially dangerous because of the long drop off cliffs. If it werent for the runoff there we would have rolled several times and probably gotten seriously injured. I take stuff like this seriously and once I heard that someone crashed, let alone rolled off the road, on the drive, I wanted to make sure that there was nothing I could do to help, and to make sure that it was not one of my friends in trouble.
And about the reverse--I was trying to get out of their way as fast as possible, and I didn't feel confident enough in my reversing abilities to make a U turn without hitting Gagan's car and another truck which were blocking the turnout. Once they moved their cars, I made my U turn and headed back to Grant park. So following the ranger's directions, I just moved my car away from the scene as fast as safely possible while letting others by and worried about making a U turn later.
That said, it was my right to go up the mountain, and I did what I felt was right in moving myself clear from the scene to the best of my judgement and abilities. I didn't do anything illegal or stop anyone from doing their job, so there was no harm done.
That is all.

Everything happened so quick i dont even know what to do. Im just glad im okay, i walked out of it with only minor cuts and scratches on my hand and a little bump. Thanks to everyone who tried to help and who was there when this occured. I know i have myself to blame i should have been more carefull and i learned from my mistakes. Im just thankfull to be alive. Sorry for giving subys a bad reputation because of my recklessness and mistake.
I am soooooooo Glad to hear you are okay. Did you get some X-rays? Any other pains? Nothin broken that is amazing!!!!!!!!!!! When I heard someone went off the cliff I went cold and when I saw your car flipped over My heart dropped. A guy tried to run down the mountain to go and save you now that is BALLZ. I got a ride from a nice Cager and his wife (the ones that gave you the H2o) up to where you were coming up the hill. Count your blessings you are only 18 yrs old it would have been a damn shame if you were Injured.
