Default Your S2000's favorite stretch of road?

I have several spots I can shred corners.

But my favorite is a stretch of two-lane highway just south of my hometown in Kansas.

A stretch of about 7 miles on K-99 has several fun curves, and a couple of straightaways where you can smash the throttle. Love it. There are also some great places to go drive here in Missouri, but I have only found a few routes that have been adequate.

I dream of someday getting to the Dragon, but I don't know how soon it will happen. That is a bucket list drive.

I also would love to get to Colorado with it and get into the mountains, where there are tunnels for my exhaust to wail at WOT.

Where do you like to take the S2000 to let her loose? Where would you like to take your S2000 that it has not been? Pictures too, if you have them.

Public roads: The Dragon
Not-so-public road: Watkins Glen International Speedway FTW!

I'm over 1,000 miles away from the Dragon, drove home from it straight through to New Hampshire (18+ hours).

If you can drive your car you can get to the Dragon, every S2000 owner has to do it once!

I can get to Watkins Glen International in 1/3 of the time and drive as fast as I want with no traffic,
police or semi tractor trailers showing up in your lane!

M22 on the Leelanau Peninsula of Michigan...as long as you can hit it when there's little traffic. For Michigan, it has a ton of curves and the scenery is breathtaking.

For the sights - I love to drive Hwy 101 along the Oregon coast - but there is many times too much traffic.

101 in Oregon




Hwy 202 on the way to the coast is a blast, but need to be repaved.


The Oregon crews favorite has always been McKenzie Pass in Central Oregon. This is a climb out of the lush green forest in the valley at about 1800 feet up to a lava flow at 5400 feet and back down the other side. It is an amazing road that is only open a during the summer due to snow.









Here are a few videos of the road.
