My first GoPro Turnbull Canyon Whittier Ca

[LimeySteve]

This is the 2nd time I've driven this Canyon 1st was a month ago , great drive, practice for Willow Springs next Sunday. I'll clean my windshield next time LOL. Great road but I was cautious as it is a public road !

Sounds good, whats the setup?

Very nice! Reminds me of some of the back roads around here in upstate NY. I will have to do a GoPro of the original WG road course. It is still all public roads today & is on the national historic register so that it cannot be changed. I of course, will have to wait another 2 months to get the 1600 out of storage. Great Video!

I love me some in car vids.........

but if I cannot see the drivers hands/steering wheel and all the inputs then Im usually very bored.

Cheers , the canyon is less than a mile from my shop in Uptown Whittier , so close but I'd never done it before .My set up is stock 1971 bottom end with flat top pistons (soon to be swapped for a higher compression / balanced set up ) port matched 121 head , 292 Schneider cam, 2 45 Dellortos ,Crane HI 6 ignition & an Ireland stepped Header , through 2 glasspacks the PO put in. driving like that & on the freeway I got 22.8 mpg with a 4 speed trans on 87 octane gas. I'm well pleased with the set upbut looking forward to getting the CR up to take advantage of the carbs & cam. Willow Springs on Sunday so I'm off to film something even more fun.

Great video! what mount did you use? I have been reading the reviews and it seems a number of the suction cups mounts haven't held on. As a result the entire camera is lost. Which GoPro did/do you have?

Thanks for sharing.

no bicycles YAY....

I bought a used GoPro3 White edition, I use the official GoPro suction mount on the inside of my windshield, Sunday at Willow Springs I plan on adding side window inside to see gauges etc & outside on rear quarter. Andrew is going to movie edit it, so hopefully I can perform The Go Pro mount is insanely strong.

That's a very fun road, especially coming from Beverly in Whittier! I live in Fullerton and one of my fun getaway drives is to take East Rd west to Hacienda to West Rd (west) into Whittier then over to Beverly and up Turnbull Cyn. It's great fun on the switchbacks because you can see the entire corner, except the tight blind right hander near the top. Thanks for the vid, I enjoyed it!
