Ollright, I searched, I didn't find anything.
And I don't see any other section for this to go, besides drives/events which I'm not planning...so here goes...
Do you guys know of any good roads to drive on within, say, 100 miles of DFW?
Locally, I've drove, for the past year or so:
-Las Vegas Trail Exit Las Vegas Trail off 820 Westbound right after your cross over Lake Worth, turn right, enjoy - it was repaved recently.
-Heron Drive Exit Las Vegas Trail off 820 Westbound, turn left, go over bridge, turn left at the first street, enjoy. Tight, very tight, turns...one with no gaurd rail that goes straight into Lake Worth...gotta be careful.
-Navajo Trail Exit Navajo Trail (exit before Las Vegas Trail) off 820 Westbound right after Jacksboro Highway, before you cross over Lake Worth, turn left, then left at the fork, and that is one fun road. You can also go right at the fork, but road is bumpier and not as twisty, but sorta fun.
-Lake Weatherford. I forget the name of the exit, but heading out on I-30 West or I-20, it merges into I-20 and it says "Lake Weatherford, exit # xxx", just take that exit, turn right and you'll be on a semi-sweeping road. Keep going till a stop sign, and take a right, or left, your choice. Just keep turning right/left at the stop signs trying to make a circle around the lake, and you'll come back to where you started...The last turn of the loop [if you turned right at the stop sign] has the tightest, blindest, most fun turns. Lake Weatherford is probably my favorite, at least 10-15 minutes of fun driving, one way, for about 30 minutes travel time from downtown Ft. Worth.
-Aledo. Take I-30 West, and soon after it merges with I-20 (IIRC) you'll see an exit for Aledo. Take that exit, turn left and go over the bridge, go straight. At the first stop light, turn right. You'll stay on this road for a while, and when you pass a church on your right side and the speed limit slows down to 30 or 35mph, you'll look for a street on your left that drops down as you turn onto it. This street, while short, is a nice little detour if you're planning to go to Lake Weatherford anyways, it's smooth and tight. I love it.
-Granbury. This is far out there, but Paluxy Highway is very tight, smooth, and well marked, but only 15 minutes or so for about 1 1/2 hours travel time from Fort Worth. Take 377 South allllll the way to Granbury, then I believe you exit Glen Rose (exit right after you cross over Lake Granbury). Turn right at the exit, then turn left at the first stop light. Highway 51/Paluxy Highway IIRC. Keep going and going for about 15 minutes on the sweeper type road, and you'll see the road fork right near some railroad tracks. Take the right fork to continue on Hwy 51/Paluxy Hwy. Soon it begins to get very tight, but for the travel time, it's all over too soon...but it is the smoothest, best marked road I've been on...just too far away.
That's about all I know of. There's some sweepers in south Fort Worth, and about 30 seconds worth of turns on the south end of 357, and sweepers south of Denton...but nothing to really get you driving. If you got any others, let me know.
PS: I hope this is cool to post, as it's not "racing" or anything, just spirited driving, what the car was meant for.
