EJU MX5 -
I got roads up in Hanover that you would SWEAR look like they are meant for racing. Lanes about 6 lanes wide...no lines...curvy as hell and best yet...NO cops! Its so rural that they dont even come out there. Trust me, Hanover = BADASS BACKROADS!
If your not in to the insane curvy-ness (which i doubt that, being that you drive a Miata) we have some wicked straights as well that can get a stock motored 5.0 GT well into the 120s+ (or so i've heard...ahem) The road that leads to my house is about 5 miles of STRAIGHT road....its so inviting.

If Daniel and I ever get our club together I want to do a roadtrip (others would be welcome) to Deal's Gap (aka the Tail of the Dragon) in NC. I dunno if you Mustang guys with your drag suspensions would be down for it.

There have been quite a few deaths. Signs on each end of the road tell trucks to take an alternate route; that's how insane the corners are. It is pretty widely regarded as one of the premier bike/sports car roads in the world.
The coolest part is there's a shop at each end, and when you "conquer" the road you go and buy a little dragon sticker. If you see someone with that sticker you know they are hardcore mother fuckers. ;]
