looks like soquel. yep there is a few roads that are nice but mainly off camber turns, no guard rails so if you **** up you're likely dead and most of the roads are in horrible condition.

Highway 84 from San Carlos to Highway 1. Pure sex, we hit it every time we go on a 969 Motorsports charity drive.

Yeah! 84 is a fun one,! Plenty of semi-high speed sweepers, all the way to the beach. Next time you guys set up a drive, lemme know! I'm up there at least once a week.


There are a lot of nice, well kept roads in the SC Mountains..you just gotta know where to look. Karack, this place is right in the area you're talking about..

Here's a few more of the same road:

Hey it's a great excuse to come down and visit the south bay Ben. I love taking my car down there. I have to visit that area roughly once a week for work and it always puts a smile on my face. Then I hit Salinas and it's pot hole city..."bump Ouch!"
