There really aren't any fun roads of which to speak; the Kettle Moraine around Road America is somewhat interesting, but it's a poor substitute for an actual fun road.
Clearly you don't go out then.

And if you actually join for a measly $40 there are all kinds of events both social and driving that are only promoted and open to members. It's a great club with a very cool variety of metal!

ca is the greatest land mass in america

costs are expensive blah blah blah. everything good is expensive, either you pay or dont pay

last i check porsche makes very expensive cars that don't do much more on paper then other cars, but we buy them because they give us that experience that we need or want

ca is the same way. it can give you the beach or the snow or a blonde or a brunette. snapchat or instagram. newport beach or Manhattan beach. tesla or singer porsche. LA or SF or SD.

There is the annual mother’s exotic car gathering. It includes 2 tix in GS 16, parking in the IMSA paddock area, 2 lunches, and a chance to take your car on the track. It’s a good event- I’ve had various cars in it for many years. Let me know if u are interested and I’ll forward u the contract info (it may be too late/sold out)

I vote for North Atlanta area also. Two great tracks, affordable in all ways, plenty of storage, easy travel access and TONS of amazing mountain roads. Two hours to the Tail of the Dragon, one hour or less from Blood Mountain. The driving never stops!

+1...also empty mountain roads toward north George and Asheville, NC.....and I285 perimeter around Atlanta is basically a racetrack as under 80 not tolerated except at exits and cops avoid it as they are afraid of getting hit if they were to pull anybody over....
