Took the corvette there today and had more fun than I did on the ferrari track day yesterday!

Its a 13mile one way road that winds around the canyon with plenty of ups, down, twists and turns. The road surface is a good standard and wide enough for 2 cars so room to overtake. Most people go there for hiking so there is some slow moving traffic and you have to watch for joggers/hikers/cyclists. Speed limit is a max of 35mph and much lower in some parts but on the straight that shoots across the canyon floor I'd imagine you'd easily get something like a Corvette to hit 150mph, maybe more if your nuggets are bigger!

I went round 3 times before I had to call it a day to take the car back but could of gone round all day!

I did start to record a vid on the 3rd trip round but its a crap as I hit traffic! I couldn't then really drive round the traffic while holding the phone. But you'll get the idea of the terrain...
