You are very lucky. I have to go to a canyon to get decent curves..
Hrmph. There's a mile or two of decent road on my way to work, before the highway, but it's too close to town. Inevitably a minivan, Mercedes, SUV, or some other dog slow vehicle/driver combo winds up in front of me -- and of course, they've never met the concept of using the turnouts to let somebody by... 
You guys have curves? Darn few where I live... 
Hijack! Did someone say curves.

and anyone who has ever run this course thinks that it is the best in the NATION!!!!!!!!! Great to do on a sportbike.
My brother who lives in Columbus, Georgia took a stroll down the Dragon a couple of times last year. He said it produces gud wood. 
I just saw a report on german TV, about a historic rallye at Mallorca
there they had a wonderful stage
147 Curves @ 900 m difference in altidude (about 3,000 ft) @ a length of 12 km (about 7.5 miles)
that sound's like a lot of fun

The best description of the Dragon came from a Lotus 7 driver..."It's just like an autocross course, except it has elevation changes and oncoming traffic!"

And it is Autocross for REAL MEN! None of these pansy orange pylons. They use TREES instead!!!!QUOTE(ClayPerrine @ Jul 25 2007, 11:40 PM)

Last fatality was a touring trike that over-cooked a corner, crossed the center line, and nailed an oncoming boat on a trailer, knocking said boat off trailer.
Guys I work with are big time into sport bikes and go there every weekend, sometimes during the week as well. One told me that his EMS bud was searching for someone who went off a cliff. He happened to look up and found another fatality stuck on a tree limb. He'd been up there, undiscovered, for about a year.
ferrari club of america (w/1 black 914) vid on a run.

looks worth the drive to me...
