Keith, I just looked at that Tail Of The Dragon site. Wow, what a road! Reminds me of a few I've taken in Southern Cal. How about putting together a DSCC road rally through there during a good weather month? We could have two groups, a slow group and a f"fast group" (for those that like to lve dangerously).
Make it where we stay up in those mountains in some cabins. This would make a great weekend drive.
For anyone in Sothern Cal, if you haven't done Tuna Canyon, you haven't lived. Another real fine run is up to the Ski Lodge going up Angeles Creat Hwy, then right towards the lodge. We used to average 87mph coming down the 27 miles back to the main road in town. This was in Austin Healy Bugeyed Sprites. Try that in your Cobra! We "killed" a Vette that tryed to follow me one night. Some kids stole their dad's Vette and had to leave it on the mountain in pieces. Fortunately, they were OK till they got home.
If you really want to live dangerously, try the dirt part of Mullholland Drive, or better yet, Decker Canyon from Mullholland down to the beach. Many a good driver has "lost it" on Decker, but it's a great drive if your good.
