Pics/vids?

 

[JulieU]

No vids up yet, but here are the few pictures Vic took using Jerome's camera at the end of the day:

It was chilly and rained all morning and the first half of the afternoon so I imagine it was tough to shoot thru wet windshields. The forecast didn't show more than a 30% chance of rain until it was too late. Otherwise we would have postponed it. Regardless, it was still a blast! There are a few more pix and post-drive comments on page 10. Still waiting for some more folks to post pix. They're probabry just exhausted and still trying to recover.

Wow, the wife and I arrived in hotsprings Sat. around 3:00pm for a 3 day visit and it was beautiful everyday except today. Wish I could've made that.:frown: Anyway I enjoyed 3 days of beautiful twisty roads.:biggrin:

 

[JulieU]

Nice! The roads around Hot Springs are amazing! Did you have a chance to drive up that road to the mountain tower (right by the Arlington hotel)?

Yes we did. I could definately live up there, but I feel the NSX would land me in jail with such twisty roads, LOL.
