The police do not mess around on that road as well.
Pick another road!

Just take it to the track.

Or maybe just try not to kill anyone. Weekdays and evenings are best. Avoid the weekend afternoons. Make one pass and check out the road before picking up the pace. Heading south, take it easy until past Pinehurst, ease off around the range, and finally let up again around the Chabot Staging Area.

Motorcycle dudes call this the "RedwoodTT".

This road hasn't been a secret for 30 years and is never going to be a secret. Friend of mine on a motorcycle died last season when a dude in an Accord slid across the center line and took him out.

part I like is covered with bicyclists going over the line, and when they do it its at high speed, pretty scary. That particular part most cars don't speed as there is a couple 5 mphs, cyclists can carry a lot of speed thru there.

my opinion is regardless its your fault if you go over the line so keep it in your own lane.

yea this road wasn't even a secret to my dad, he use to drive his c2 thru it everyday, same with friends dads. People have been going out there forever. Definitely can drive briskly without being an idiot. Use to drive it nearly everyday for fun when I got my first sti. People have also been dying out there for a long time.

Still not sure why it would be risked. Track days are cheap. I will be more then happy to help anyone of you take it to the track and keep it off the road ways.

Hell I'll even make you lunch at the track. Its super easy and cheap now days to just sign up for a event and go no really excuses.
