Took a nice drive after work today, found this road, Larry Hill Rd. Doesn’t look like much on a map but it is a very fun drive! Sweeping S-turns, one NASTY s-turn (had to dump it in 2nd and slide though the first half), mild to steep hills and if you take Gallupville Rd a nice straight away.

I88 out by exit 23…long straight downhill section of the highway and the best part is, cops dont patrol it at night

88 for the most part is fun and easy to run at high speeds on it at night because cops only chill there in the morning

I lived in Duanesburg for 95% of my school life off Youngs rd, Scotch Ridge, in the village itself, etc… S.Keley station road is childsplay compared to roads up north(exit 30+). Even Washout, Gower, Johnson rd, etc all pale in comparison. All too cop localized anyway as the state troopers know shit goes down there constantly. You boys need to take some longer trips up north past Ticonderoga + saranac or get up into vermont :nod

Good stuff here, I’ve been wanting to go for a cruise for awhile. Maybe some of you want to meet up and go out. Now that the car is running again, I am itching to drive her. :runaway

If I feel like staying close to home, but want a nice/fairly short drive - Usually I will take E Old State starting at 155, take that until it circles back around (turns into Lydius at one point) and meets back up with itself, then cut back down Kings road, over Cordell to Albany street, and back home.

It’s definitely the most fun during the fall, not too populated of an area, lots of trees over hanging the road, very nice. :smile

Not much to the road itself. IIRC it’s a dead end anyway…I haven’t been in that area since I left Youngs road in '98. Kinda like flying _down_ Gage Rd from rt20 and clearing the RR tracks at the end then trying to stop before blowing the intersection on thousand acre. :lol

Here are some roads:

Spires Falls Route…this will put you in Byron’s neck of the woods…exit 17 ~10 miles of great road down to ext 16

Mahaffey Road…off camber, blind hills, short but right to the point. Ends with a ~2 miles straight stretch with hill you can get all fours tires off the ground without breaking a sweat…

And the infamous Tracy Rd. If you cannot drive within your limits…don’t drive here. If your car is inadequate in suspension, tires, and braking…don’t drive here. If you’re afraid of getting caught by the troopers…don’t drive here because they DO patrol often. This is a serious road that even taken at ~40-50mph can be knarly at times. I’ve had the 911 Turbo 3.6 airborn mid corner on this road. I post with hopes nobody is stupid and reckless and get’s killed/hurt :nod It looks small buts it’s quite a long road…immediately off exit 30…right of ramp, take first left…oh and watch out for moose

I used to fly down Gage Rd too back in 2001-2002. But now the road is really rough.
