    Our first Long haul in 11, Coco Beach to GM proving grounds, also a side stop in Springfield Missouri " The Cozy Dog ", a little dairy bar where they invented the corn dog on a stick. Still make them as you watch. Neat little place.

      We also liked Little Rock the year they had Blue Oyster Cult put on a concert for us. 2005 maybe?

          GM Proving Grounds as the bonus long hauler day in '11 was my favorite. This was our first Long Haul after years of only having enough time off for a few legs. Zmax is also a top pick for our family. WV in 2014 was the worst due to the parking or lack thereof. Springfield, IL in 2010 was on that list as well. Wish we would go to the Minnesota State Fairgrounds someday.

            My first longhaul in 2015. Everything was "new", it was fun and different, I tricked my wife into going... and the route from WI to LA was some really nice driving. It also wasn't crazy hot. Just a really great trip. Car died, but we fixed it. I also LOVED the car show in downtown Memphis? There was a street concert going on, tons of cool stuff to check out, and great restaurants.

            The Circuit of the Americas in 2016 was pretty awesome too.

              Downtown Memphis with the Comp Cams cruise in was fun, as was Memphis raceway. Jesse, in my humble opinion, some of the best PT years were in the 2009 - 2015 range. We have really been running around the mid west lately.

              2012 was a great year, we wondered off route and did RT 66 for a couple of days.

                The 2 days on the Blue Ridge Pkwy. in '06. On the Speedway @ Bristol, what ever year that was. Run from Charlotte to Knoxville was great.
