Yeap, specially if you have no power steering. Crud corner is correctly named as well. Lot's of people go down there. Heck, lots of people go down all over the thing. That road is almost impossible to Drift on so don't even think about that. The amount of Traffic, wildlife, hunters, curves right on one another and just plain out silliness of the layout adds up to death for Drifters.

The fastest guy up there sports the times on Bike and Car. 9min 48 secs on a bike and 10 mins 18 secs in a car. In an FD no less.

Well theres only one way to find out if this road is dangerous, *vroom,vroom*

thats like our road here, except a fast run takes like 4 mins tops...takes like 6 or 7 mins just cruiseing...its not that long....do the cops ever go up there?

It's an amazing road, but it is sooo crowded and it would be ok if it were only filled with sportbikes and sportscars, but eveytime ive been, i always get stuck behind a line of cars or a bunch those dumb goldwings or harleys. and ive usually been on weekdays in the morning so its not like im being stupid and going sunday afternoon. My dad still loves riding it on his motorcycle, but its a lot easier for him to get around blockages with a 2 ft wide motorcycle and 100 hp than with my 5 ft wide car and the same 100hp.

Basically there are so many good backroads around where I live, I really don't have much desire to go to the dragon.

It does get crowded, but if you can catch that one time when you can make an uninterupted run up or down the mtn. it makes all the waiting in line worth it.

you have plenty of spot up there you just need to look. Try Mtn. Washington or the Catskills

Mt Washington rofl.

Yea, it's really fun to go tear down roads that are lined with signs like this one:



Now granted they have been doing the Mount Washington Hillclimb since the days of old:



But they've also been rocking the same road for about as long:



Only a lunatic would attempt to tear down mount washington...that road is not a joke.

There is many a good road up that way though.

speaking of where good hills are, is there anything decent at all near houston? Cuz we have no road tracks or anything, you have to do everything in neighborhoods that arent built yet or in parking lots.

My father use to take me there camping when I was boy. I remember that road till this day and often dream about running it.
