What is the BEST DRIVING SPOT In California?

So i love driving and speeding, where is the best driving spot in cali? I know a place in Malibu on the hills but i recently got caught by the cops because some lady reported me and my friends to be the "Fire starters".

I know of a couple of great driving roads where cops don't usually bother the drivers:

Laguna Seca - Monterey
Infineon - Sonoma
Thunderhill Raceway - Willows
Willow Springs - Rosamond/Lancaster

Any one of the great tracks in California is the best place to speed, anywhere else you're taking everyone else life in your hands! Save it for the track!

In terms of what? All out speeding or fun factor? For me, fun factor would be more important. There's plenty of good driving roads in California for that!

I took this picture in front of one of my favorite road full of twisties in California. 140 miles of it!

I second this reccomendation! ...and closest thing you'll find to cops at those places are the sound police.

Atomic, where is that road? I need to do that.


I love Angeles Crest as well, and malibu and ortega are alright, but very crowded. Actually, all 3 are very crowded. If you want to do it right, grab a map and just go. Head up north on a saturday, drive till you are tired and come back on sunday!

I wanted to do SR-58 last year after Bimmerfest, but the *****'s I was with wanted to go home instead. Maybe this year.

I thought Hwy 58 was washed out last spring?

Don't worry, my hands/lips are sealed. Nobody will find out where that magical road is.
