Yeah hellbender is way more fun. I'm always paranoid about one of those speed traps though.

Yep... if you put your foot in it and left it there you would be 120+ on that straight where they set up.

Yep, I know that section of Hellbender and you're right... always freaked out a bit about keeping my foot on the gas right before the boat landing

I always backed off well ahead of that area just because it seems like the perfect spot to get tagged.

How long is the drive from Fontana to the Dragon? Just wondering.

GM_Traitor3.5 · 01-04-2012, 12:12 PM

Like 20 mins I think?

I want to say the run down Hellbender is around 10 miles or so. It's awesome, though.

Maybe in a Maxima...

I checked the map and it says 8.8 miles and 11 minutes. So we get there in about 7-8.

Wow, I zoomed in a surveyed the roads. Looks like you can pretty much jump on any road down there and have a blast. Cant wait!!

I love the left turn out of the Resort onto Hellbender (28). It's awesome because the road turns downhill and veers right a bit, and the trees close in, so it's like you're driving off into a tunnel. What makes it even more epic is you can hear the echo of engines in the distance, and sometimes another group of cars is returning from a run as you go out and they give you a friendly "go get 'em" wave. It's just awesome.

It doesn't look as epic on the GoPro (thanks wide-angle distortion), but in person it's quite awesome.

At 2:05 you can see the area that would get you in trouble on the return leg.

Every road down there is a blast! And it's beautiful country too.
