We just moved from the SF Bay area and I gave the wife certain requirements.
Active PCA, Local Track, Coastal Mountain roads.

No I have a track 15 minutes fro the house (two more within a few hours), Twists through the hills 10 minutes away and the coast is an hour away with great road options to get there.
Where did you relocate to? I'm thinking of moving out of the bay as well.

Shhh! Don't advertise your epic driving roads! Less famous is good. Crowded and congested as much of the more famous drives (especially those in the more densely populated areas) makes for no fun. Ill take epic and less famous all day long!

somewhere in Arkansas....err Oklahoma......40+ miles of incredible mountaintop driving...literally ZERO traffic.
This was one of the straighter sections:

Ascend, 21 years of my time in Chicago I commuted strictly in Porsche Turbos: 965, 996, 997. There are many great roads in central Illinois and Wisconsin. And don’t forget all the race tracks in the area, and the country club where I tracked my white 997GT2 all the time. And a huge pretty nice active car community. You should have a great time.

Where do you live?

That corner is about a mile from my house. Spent a few afternoons at Sheffield’s on the corner in my younger days.
