Patterson road does not deserve to be in this conversation. Patterson's 10 turns in 5 miles does not compare to Deal's Gap's 318 turns in 11 miles.
Some of the corners are off-camber. I think 3 of them. But those are part of some S's.

Since we're talking about the Dragon, I guess I could chip in a few vids I shot from the Harnessbar Cam(tm) in October 2005.
