Default Are there any roads around here with CURVES?

Being from New England, I'm a huge suspension whore. The roads go up, down, left, and right, and there is usually no one on them.

I have just sent mail out for Koni Sports and Ground Control coilovers in 400f/450r lb/in spring rates for my 89 Civic Si... I'm starting to get worried that I'll have no where to 'use' it.

Can someone reassure me? The only curve I've seen is 275 North right before Howard Franklin.

Go to Auto X events.

People post the curvy roads then theres another tree or pole taken out by a car the next week.

I'm building my car for STS. You may have noticed that it's an 89 Si.

Great tips any more?

I used to be able to run down anyone on patterson back in the day, ive probably ran that road over 300 times, i just dont have the balls to do that anymore, guess i grew up. The thing about patterson is its not necessarily who has the fastest car but who is the craziest.

This is Newburger, the dark purple is the main road with 0 houses on it, starts out tight gets faster in the middle and slows down at the end. the light purple is another route you can take that mixes it up, theres like 2 houses off this way but their far off the road
