Favorite roads for you and your Z

[lvmy240z]

I've got a couple.

1. US 12 between Lolo Montana and Lewiston Idaho. 100+ miles of curves and gorgeous scenery.

2. US 191 between Jackson, Wyoming and Grants Village in Yellowstone. The Tetons and the Rockefeller Highway are breathtaking.

3. The Going-to-the Sun highway between lake McDonald Lodge and St Mary's Montana is another killer drive for the scenery. (Know the enemy, if you get a ticket in Glacier, Grand Teton, or Yellowstone it's a Federal offense. These roads can also be clogged with RV's and wildlife induced traffic jams, adding to the "experience". There's still a lot of fun to have because once you pass one park ranger on these stretches, your done seeing them.)

4. US 550 between Durango and Silverton Colorado. Make sure your Z can hack the altitude here, and in Wyoming.

I like your choices but would add that you missed another great road. Beartooth Pass runs from Wyoming back to Montana from inside Yellowstone Park. I took my 240 over it once and discovered that 10,600 plus feet above sea level is a rather lean experience for the engine. Another high mountain pass in Wyoming brought my 280ZX to a surging condition at 9600 feet above sea level. At least the 240 doesn't drop into limp home mode at high altitudes.

A word of caution though ... not all park patrol cars can be recognized. I went through Yellowstone in a 3000GT with a radar detector and discovered that there are a lot of unmarked cars with radar in them. Also, Going To The Sun road has a length limit on it. Anything over twenty feet long is forbidden on that stretch. I've been over it when that wasn't the case. `Just how do we bend this 44 foot motorhome around that corner? Why, I guess we'll just tie up traffic from both directions.' I like the limit on length a lot! Getting a speeding ticket in the Parks is a federal offense and they do enforce it. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. Another nice drive (undemanding but gorgeous) is I-15 from Great Falls to Helena through the Wolf Creek Canyon. Lots of curves and bridges crossing the Missouri riiver through the canyon. The canyon walls are spectacular to see and the entire drive is very scenic. My personal favorite though is Going To The Sun on the west side.

Mine has always been a 2 mile stretch of asphalt named Summit Point Raceway...:devious:

2 many Z's, how long have you been in N. Va.? I went to GMU for a year and was a member of the N Va Z car club when Charlie Seal was the President back in '89-90. had a great trip to Summit Point one day, took the Z's for a lap of the track between Vintage Historic races.

I've been here since 78....I've been going to SP since the mid 80's and raced in ITS there from the fall 89- Fall 94 and still go up now and then.

I remember the Z club being there a couple times over the years, but I was too busy at the time to spend much time looking around....:devious:
