Chin Chaple Road in Denton (Copper Canyon, south of Denton, and close to Highland Village/Lewisville, and Argyl) is fun for me to go down.. I enjoy driving 55 on it... I'm sure evos could go faster Go down it at around 2am and there's no one on it whatsoever.

There's also a really bumpy road I went down with Stephen once that was really jacked up-- Stephen could prolly tell you the name of the road, because I don't remember ... eheh..

If you go down Chin Chapel with your evo can I come?!

FM 1187 between Mansfield and 377 towards Cresson.

They have started turning the back twisty roads into what looks to be straighter wider paths for the directionally challenged SUVs.

Around Lake Worth there are so many tight twisty roads with so much lake and vegitation greenery, it's hard to say which is more enjoyable, the scenery or the driving experience. Both rock. The roads are known for presenting a few surprises from critters and gravel and sudden off camber spots, so it's certainly a trip you pay attention to the entire time. I've help pull a few cars out of the ditches from momentary distractions and overly confident spins and loops..

Also down here between Arlington and Mansfield many new streets have been built, but no houses or anything yet, so we've been enjoying our own makshift tracks. Have a few nice courses laid out, the only downside is the curbs are quite liekly to cause serious damage, so extreme caution is advisable.. but the ups downs and bends are nice. With only a handful of people we've closed of sections to ensure no farmer wanders into our closed circuit and been running laps. More dirfiting fun than timed laps with all the muck that the rain has been washing across the track, heh.

Actually, I've taken many trips to the hill country in my car and on my bike, but IMO Arkansas has significantly more twisties, but of course not near as convenient for you... Eureka Springs in the Ozarks is awesome!

How about Espinazo del Diablo? I've been wanting to make a trip down there for some time. Just need to have that roll cage installed...
