Tail of the Dragon is just amazing. I was lucky enough to hook up with some of the guys and gals from ClubLexus.com and run thru that amazing stretch of roads. There was a young lady with a NSX and she worked that car like no ones business.
My former GS400 did a great job but I would love to take the G for a run in a year or so after I get done with the suspension upgrades and if money permits BBK.

I'm seriously thinking about heading down next summer.
It'd be great if we could organize a tour of G35s

Wife still bugs me about getting lost the first time but in the end we both had alot of fun since I did the run down and she did the run up the dragon. My son should have a blast too if we go next year he will be 2 and already loves cars.

hahaha Ahh geez. Let's just reminisce a bit after the last one.
Mrs. RBull might be the one really needing convincing but she does like to travel, and the summer is freetime.

I'd better do some local arm twisting here...
A two car meet for a tour like Tail o' Dragon just doesn't cut it some how.

Yes you're right about that one.
Did that a few years back on my motorcycle, it's a great ride. Lots of info online about, search for Deals Gap. Just hope one of those stupid Swift trucks don't (illegally) use the road and take up both lanes going around corners.
You'll see lots of bikes on the road. At the end of it there is a little shop with a "Tree of Shame." Check out all of the bike parts hanging off of it, and go inside and look at all the pictures. In fact... youmight want to do that BEFORE you try conquering the road.

....Would be nice to see at least, even if 'testing' isn't feasible....

I'm sure this road would be a test for most even at mundain speeds... 
I'm seriously thinking about this for next year...
Kind of a last hurrah, before my baby goes back to stock
