Who's driving the R8 this memorial day weekend?

[soho]

For those of you all that reserve driving the R8 for special occasions or just drive it in a rotation with a few other supercars, who is driving the R8 this weekend across the United States? I'm excited to take her down to the Jersey Shore for the first time.

This is the road I am doing for a couple of weeks. I finally brought my R8 home from Miller Motorsport track to do this route again.

The video ( NOT mine, nor of me) is very poor quality and is sped up. In real life the motorcycles go slower than my R8. Terrible quality but you will get the idea.

This time of year this hiway is all but deserted. ( Think central Alaska). In a month it will be too crowded with summer tourists to do anything fast. Its about 80 miles long of Nurburgring quality turns, curves and straights. Regularly doing 90+ mph going into tight 20-35 mph hairpin turns and curves. Easily one of the best roads I have ever found. ( Including Europe) , especially because of the total lack of traffic and cops. A few deer and elk are always possible to really test your brakes. Lowman is actually about half way thru the better parts.

Road goes from Stanley, ID (near my home) to Boise, Idaho.

My brothers flew in from Vegas this morning. Heading out in a couple hours to get a head start for the Indy 500 tomorrow. Due to there being 3 of us, I'll be taking the Honda Civic..... on the plus side, GR8 fuel economy!!

Driving my "new" '61 Triumph TR3A all weekend but only around Sanibel and only when weather permits. Never want to take this old gal out and get her wet!

For those of you all that reserve driving the R8 for special occasions or just drive it in a rotation with a few other supercars, who is driving the R8 this weekend across the United States? I'm excited to take her down to the Jersey Shore for the first time.

That will be a very slow ride this weekend! I usually stay away from the NJ shore on Mem day, 4th of July, and Labor day.

It was actually smooth sailing! I'm down here in OC right now and will be until tomorrow. Went up for a nice flight along the coast at sunset last night and took some pics of the R8 from the sky above the airport. Will try to post them at some point.

Sometimes the Gods have other ideas for us on Memorial Day.
