Thanks guys.

Kargo is correct. Moonshine has been closed for years. I tried Moonshine in 2005 with a sickly 460 engine and the truck was quite a bit heavier. I made it slightly further than others, but no one made it on that date (Easter weekend '05).

While it may look similar, the "upper" Hairpin section is quite a bit wider than Moonshine was. I had a choice of lines on upper Hairpin. When I tried Moonshine in the past (the only time I was able to try), it was tight. I fit, but I didn't have any real choice of lines. It would be nice to try the old Moonshine trail with the current engine and reduced weight that I now have...but that's not in the cards.
