    Hey John, if you ever put together another meet, (fall colors would be good! hint..hint!),
    count me in! I'd love another crack at ole Equinox...especially the ascent part with hopefully cooler conditions...lol. That 90's crap made me a little nervous the last time even though all turned out well.

    If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?

    The reason to use engine breaking is so that breaks do not overheat and stop working. It is really for safety.

    Maybe in a racing situation where the brakes get red hot, or could fade ; where the engine is made to handle the stresses of downshifting.

    Regular driving and wheeling shouldn't overheat our brakes. Save the engine unless your driving on a grade.

    The brakes are designed to be safe under normal conditions.
