Mosport Int'l Raceway, 10 mins north of my house


actually to be honest, it's really the ONLY place i've driven it since i bought the car last July. Camshaft problems = no motivation to drive it. Drove it to work a few times but spent 2 straight hours on the track with out ANY problems

I like the picture Ross944. I grew up in Los Alamos, NM and lived down there when I owned my first 951. I actually feel a little spoiled about it now because I'm going to be purchasing another 951, possibly this week, and I don't get to cruise the mesas and the traffic down there is practically non-existent.

Rattlesnake rd in the Hamilton Ontario area. Awsome switchbacks, blind reducing radius turns, and steep off camber curves, you name it it has it. 23km long if I recall.

+1 on Mosport. One of the most challenging tracks in the world. (Sterling Moss had a hand in some of the design. (Moss's corner. Turn 5a 5b and 5c hairpin. Turn 5a entry is from an off camber downhill turn 4 that abruptly rises to an almost 90 degree right hand turn with nowhere to go if you miss. And it is only two cars wide, if you keep a set of wheels off in the grass! It is a frightening approach!)

You're right about that! Most people say they dont like turn 2 or turn 5 but my least favorite has got to be 4.... you can't see **** as you approach the crest and i've had a couple of my cars kick the back end out and gone down that hill in a 4 wheel drift before.

Probably looked exciting from the outside, but it's freaky on the inside.

Short clip of me coming out of 4 going into 5:

Highway 29 in the foothills of Virginia. Great driving roads, but you gotta keep an eye on your speed, the cops in the area will pull you over at anything, been pulled over before. If for any reason you're driving through Nelson County, VA, go the speed limit or they'll pull you over. I hate that county, haha.

There are some great drivin roads farther out in the mountains of VA too. Drivin in the Blue Ridge Mountains is always good times. Next time I'm out there I'll need to stop and snap some pictures. Anyone ever been out to the Dragon's Tail in NC? I need to get out there soon. My buddy is a biker and he's said they're some crazy driving out there, sounds awesome.

LAMB Passes -Link Up Lincoln, Appalachian, Middlebury and Brandon Gaps in Vermont, then head up through Stowe and Smuggler's Notch. Half of those roads have sections so narrow and twisty that there's no center line.

I-70 west of Vail Pass, CO towards Glenwood Springs and on toward Brian Head... i also like 70/15 west of Grand Junction, heading west towards Green River, St. George and Las Vegas. the area north of Canyonlands, UT is a skatepark.... and Colorado 550 in the San Juan mountains. insane.

the photos below is the Devil's spine between Durango, Drgo, and Mazatlan, Sinaloa Mexico..... takes about 6~7 hours to cover the 180 miles across the Sierra Madre. extremely dangerous in many spots and you're basically "riding the rim" at least 25 % of the time. there's several hundred blind curves and about 6 hundred crosses along the route. fatal accidents happen almost weekly. i've driven it about 40 times in the past 15 years. including towing several jetski's with my Ford Escape, including once in the worst rainstorm in history..... it's very challenging in some places, downright terrifying in others, but seriously fun in others still.... the funniest part is when you cross the continental divide and into Sinaloa, and the smell of skunk bud everywhere really knocks you over... would love to drive it with my 968.

In town, this is the best drive I've found:
Marine View to Dash Point

Favorite road out of town: 101 Crescent City to Eureka

And then, of course, there's Pacific Raceways

This is pretty good for hoon - too many motorcyclists though.

even better is I-26 and US 23 north of Greenville, SC all the way through eastern Tennesse and Kentucky all the way to I-64. does a few switchbacks between interstate and badass mountain road. I-64 through West Virginia is pretty cool.... US 41 beween Terre Haute and I-65 and reduces down to a simple country road for 100 + miles of twisties.

The stretch from the Carousel thru Canada Corner up to 14 at Road America, before they took the bridge out. Nothing else like it.
