All the surrounding roads are awesome as well.
Definitely make sure your car is ready for it (decent tires and brakes). When we went in October, adam's 300zx brake fluid was crappy and boiled, leaving them with no brakes entering a corner. Though I had tools and brake fluid, so we did a quick road side brake bleeding.
Main thing is just not to overdrive your car. Never try to keep up with someone that is faster. I spun my contour around doing that and got my escort a little loose before backing off and just letting the faster car go on.
