best places to drive, test your skills

List your favorite places to drive.
Windy road, sharp corners, down hill driving, up hill driving, where are all the drive courses hidden?

I want to drive my evo, test my driving skills..

We can share our info and meet at those places

Who shares common interest?

Haha, what are you talking about?

Go to an autox (very easy) or a road course (not as easy).

back woods are cool if its during day, and VERY VERY low traffic. Being the day clears most animals, and gives u time to brake. Other than that any road coarse, or autox event will feed ur need to speed

No flame here. I hit up the touge everyday. I live in the moutains and there is about 7 or 8 good touges, which add up to 80+ miles of fun. When I start going on a new touge, I like to go during the day to learn the touge, then after I know the road, I like to go at night so i can see headlights of other car when im pushing it. I've only had a couple of encounters with wildlife and nothing has happen. BUT ..............................

ALLWAYS BE CAREFULL AND SAFE!!!

& HAVE FUN

Yeahhh...but there's an alure to mountains that's hard to pass up once u've been there. It's fun and we all know it's dangerous. I've only done ONE night run and my friend almost hit some trees trying to stay with me. Haven't gone lately.
