Your favorite place to "Get On It!"

Where do you like to put the Pedal To the Metal!?



For me, its the Fremont Bridge Onramp. I can hit 110 with no cop action run after run. Great for tuning runs.

PS. I hate to admit it, but my 110 speedo is probably only 99-102 mph. damn I hate being honest!-

So far it's been gravel/dirt TSD rallies. Definitely the most seat time I've had on gravel.

The tollroad that runs across Orlando, just south of it, about 12:30am, and just go for top speed! I've only done it enough time to count on one hand though...

There's a looong, flat strip of beautiful blacktop that runs for probably 11-12 miles between I-71 and SR 224 where, between the hours of app. 1pm and 4pm you'll never see a cop; tear onto the onramp (easy, wide open merge where you can really get on it and run up the tach), jump into the left lane and wave goodbye to anyone around you -I've gotten my car up to a hair over 110 mph, and it feels like heaven.
You can probably see ahead and behind you for almost 2 miles on a clear day and traffic is usually light at that time of day. Sometimes I go outta my way to hit that part of the highway just so I can open it up for awhile.
Heh, I think maybe I'll go for a 'lil drive...

The 270 degree downhill, decreasing radius freeway onramp from Bothell-Everett Hwy N to Interstate 405 N.

With my new suspension and tires, I usually hit 60 at the apex, and 70+ just as I complete the turn. It's banked-in just a bit, so the feeling of lateral Gs is augmented by some downward pull. It's how I sometimes start my day.

FYI - I do that only when there's NO ONE on the ramp. When there is another car or two, I'll bust out into the HOV portion of the ramp for a few seconds and perform a graceful 40-45 MPH turn. (Most do about 30-35 around this)
