They claim: “The driving route is maybe the best in the world, this side of the Nürburgring,” If it is as good as they say then maybe we can include it in the Spring run.

EDIT: My son took his FR-S and my brother and I took our Spyders down to run the Car and Driver Test Loop in Hocking Hills. The roads show a great deal of promise. There are a lot of elevation changes but most are not as drastic as the ones on RT555. The speed limit is 55MPH except in the town of South Bloomville. Pavement is great and there are an assortment of banked turns, decreasing radius turns, a couple off camber turns and some great high speed sweepers. The downside is that is a long boring drive to get to RT664 and the traffic around Hocking Hills State Park was pretty bad with a lot of tourist driving 35MPH. When You got around them so you could open it up a bit then it was a blast. We are going to scout for a more entertaining way to get there. We used US RT22 and it was boring plus there were expansion joints every 40 feet that thumped hard when you passed over them.

If we can find a better way to get there it would make an excellent location for a Spring or early Summer run.
Plus, if its a nicer day, maybe we will see some of the C/D drivers out for a test
