i love the sound of WOT in vtec going under overpasses and covered bridgets and the likes. so where are the tunnels? there are none around here that i know of besides the 10 foot long one by my house.

The tunnel on the way to the Borgata from the AC expressway is fun! It's fun when you have 15 other s2k's like we had during the drive down to the Borgata meet 2 years ago!

There the twin tunnel in downingtown heading onto valley creek road from boot (or go 30 to Quarry road, and straight through the light at boot). It's short but heads to a good road.

the lehigh tunnel is awesome...i slow down to about 15mph in 2nd at entry then gun it and tear thru the gears until i hit about 120mph then i let off and coast back to about 60 for the exit.....last time i did this we had 12 cars and lined up side by side and it was terribly loud but so much fun

If you take the Lehigh Valley Covered Bridge tour you can hit about 20 tunnels(Covered Bridges).

Yes, this is a nice tunnel but seems to always be wet in there. You can loose traction fairly easy in there. And yes, it leads to a damn fun road back there. In the summer I take many drives back there.

I always begin or end the drive with that tunnel

super, you wouldnt be referring to the 10 ft. wide bridge on Hillendale road, would you? well, if not, there is a really small bridge that leads to a nice straight on that road. doesnt offer much for sound, but is a good drive nonetheless.

that is a really cool tunnel. i think it would be hard to hit WOT since (if i remember correctly) its dark and has a tight turn or two...


my vote goes for the atlantic city tunnel or the tunnel on the way to baltimore since they are pretty long. neither are close by, but if you happen to be in the S, both are a good time..

It has one tight turn but straightens out. It's best to enter the tunnel from boot road through the shorter part of the tunnel. Make the sharp left and it straights back out. If it's dry you can go WOT and rocket out of the tunnel.
