    What are some great, silky-smooth twisty roads in D/FW area?

    I have been looking all over for some nice smooth twisty roads to go on sprited runs once in a while, and the only one I have found is FM 1080 in Argyle. Anybody happen to know other twisty roads in the D/FW area?

    I posed this same question when I was still a newbie on this board but there really weren't many suggestions...

    How about 75 from North Dallas thru Dallas?

    Not when you're going 100+MPH from where it crosses 635 heading into downtown... It's like playing Ridge Racer. :

    Man D/FW sucks. Lack of twisty roads makes this place a crappy place to live in

    Yeah, the road that leads to Joe Pool Lake (Lakeridge) is really twistie and smooth. If someone ever wants to try it out, let me know I'll give you directions and probably even join you.

    You should have taken some pic of the curves.
