I've met BS many times, have all of his books - all autographed, and stickers, and hat, and...... he's something else but how else would you get to know Buddy Palumbo, Old Man Finizio, Reginald 'Skippy' Welcher, etc....

 

Great pix. We live at the beach and this summer was insane with traffic. They are finally outta here and our roads are much less congested. We sent them all back to Jersey.

 

Rob,

You almost always disagree with any thing that I state here. But you need to get out more and see this country.

On the way out and back from this year's S2K Days the caravan of eight S2000's often drove for miles at speeds (that I will not divulge here) with out seeing another vehicle for miles. One can do that as close to Washington DC in West Virginia on Robert Byrd's Appalachian Highway system (which IMHO is a classic case of Pork Barrel Politics)

I have driven on several of these roads to and from the TomCatt Run over the years. Being the anal person that I can be I have driven on these highways at 70 MPH for over eight minutes without seeing a single vehicle traveling in either direction.

 

And you can add the southern Canadian provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba as well. Kilometers and kilometers of very little traffic, with courteous drivers! Toronto, not so much.

 

Most excellent photos!

This is north out of Bishop, on the way to June Lakes.

 

Beautiful pics!

Though we do not live in an area as congested as some of you, we lack the "great" S2000 type roads in our immediate area. I'd love to take a trip to some of the areas out west, but not sure it will happen. We have, however, enjoyed some darn nice roads and great scenery to the north, especially in Canada. We weren't driving at break neck speeds but an enjoyable pace so that the scenery was not a blur.

We do have some nice scenic back roads in our area and have hosted several group drives back in the day. The participants were told in advance it was a scenic drive and a great outing that the +1's would enjoy, as the speed limits were on the low side.

Yes, if you live in a congested are, you need to get out into farm country, rolling hills and country side.

After our first Spring Fling in WV, Rick and I enjoyed a ride back with Legal Bill and Barbara on some great scenic winding roads.

 

I enjoy where I live. 20 minute drive to a small city, 5 minute drive to endless open back roads. Not as twisty as I would like, but open and somewhat scenic,(farm land/rolling hills). I took my kit car out for a very enjoyable 45 minute ride the other evening.

 

As do I both at the track when he was mooching rides and après event in the "Hospitality Tent" !!

 

Matt,

I know that you're right. There are still plenty of open roads in the country. The problem is finding the time to get to them. They're becoming further and further away as time passes.
