Be careful up there on 9. Plenty of folks have been over-enthusiastic on that road, and paid for it.

i'll second that. group drives/rides also tend to aggravate the tendency for people to overcook it up there. watch out for deer, skunks, coyotes, racoons etc. too.

Who will agree with me that page mill is one of the most technical roads out of the whole entire santa cruz mountain range?

page mill is one of the more technical (and tight) roads in the santa cruz mountains, but there are other that are more technical and difficult. try things like kings mountin road, tunitas creek, bear creek road, etc. and you'll see what i'm talking about.

hamilton is the most challenging that i've driven on, with the exception of page mill before the repaving of some parts, my car was sliding around through the corners like a gravel stage =P

If you go too fast on hami, you're on the inside before the onset of a turn right after you come out of the previous one, very annoying/tricky and demands that you control your speed either through flow or through heavy brake/accel usage.

hamilton and mines road are both very challenging roads, no doubt about it. i had kinda limited my suggestions to those really in the santa cruz mountains, and Hamilton doesn't really qualify as such in my mind.

I'd just ignore them, according to people like that my family's 87 jetta gl could own my sti in an autox rallyx drag.

Maybe they're just far and few in between, but i have yet to see one protege that is nicely done up. The only ones i've seen are either flossin their factory bling bling rims with a drop that was done so incorrectly you can probably see the INSIDE of the rim from the outside (a la back to the future) or they have neon tubes from Frys that don't really light up the road.
