Roadtrip
I'm planning on going for a 2 week (or so) road trip next month. I'm starting in MA, going to VA, and then to wherever. Havn't really decided where to go, but theres going to be the grand nationals in OH that week, might go to that. Any thoughts on some good places to visit on a road trip? We're kinda looking for cool automotive stuff vs going to something like mount washington or whatever but anything interesting is what we're after. Any ideas?

Didn't think about the hall of fame, good idea. We're going in the middle of may so something that's next week only won't work

If you go down to Florida, then go to ocular and see Big Daddy Don Garlits (sp) drag racing museum. And if you ever come to Arkansas, go to petty jean mountain car museum, very awesome place.

I'll be honest with you, Justin, if you take the advice of all the folks here on FTE, your road trip could take months, not weeks. There are so many incredible site in this country that you can't possibly see them all in one trip. You should figure out what it is you want to do and then plan your trip around that. Personally, I just enjoy being on the road. There is some solitude in driving for me. I have seen a huge chunk of this country over the years, and there is still millions of things left. Some of my favorites are the Rockies, the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam and the desert at sunrise.
I hope you have a terrific trip and can post some pictures for us- so we can live vicariously, so to speak!
