It ain't even just the big rigs...a miscalculation or slip up and you could wrap your car around a tree (which there seem to be plenty of next to the roads)

Yeah any mishap on that road and your pretty much done. This is going to be sketchy.... Just some nice "spirited" driving will have to be done.

I guess we will see what it's all about when we get out there.

In regards to the Dragon, I have run it multiple times in a stock suspension Lexus GS to a highly modified Lexus GS. What we used to do is group everyone by capability of driver/car, so we would have the NSX's, Vipers etc in front, then the highly modded Lexus and good drivers next etc etc and in the rear stock cars and that just want cruise and enjoy things.

If you plan to really scoot down & this is your first time this is not a joke. When you finish at the bottom by the lake your hands will be clenched and your heart will be pounding. It is a road of multiple corrections with traffic going on the other side (some at blazing speed) with not as much room to spare as regular roads.

Sometimes there is a cop presence, sometimes there is not. The surrounding roads in the mountains can be just as fun, if not more so. To me its just as fun to cruise through it and enjoy the scenery and to say you did it, "bucket list item" scratched .

Please make sure your vehicle is in top running condition, please have solid tires and make sure your BRAKES are in great condition. Make sure your car is ready to rock and roll.
