Got home feeling pleased with myself about my Tail of the Dragon passes. Then I came across this video of Walter Rohrl at a Porsche Owners' Club clinic on winter driving. It seems appropriate for the first November post. (The parking lot stuff, from the middle of the video on, is of little interest.)
Rohrl won the Monte Carlo Rally four times (for Fiat, Opel, Lancia, and Audi) and was World Rally Champion twice in the 1970's and 1980's. Now he is professionally associated with Porsche. Unsurprisingly, he was a competitive amateur skier before he was a professional rally driver who's best results were in winter and gravel road events.

The penalty for error is more than I would want to pay on that particular road.
Yup. Not to mention that I wouldn't want to drive 600 miles for fun in the twisties, only to dump it over the bank on the Dragon.
