I had a work conference in Savannah, GA. It was at the Westin Golf Resort and SPA which has a conference/expo center attached. I road from Greenville, SC down. It was nothing special, just super slab. I figured I could use it as an opportunity as a shack down run for longer trips. Most of my riding is down in the mountains of NE GA, E. TN and W. NC so I get to avoid the slab most of the time. Any way I show up to the conference and work the first couple of days when I run into when of our manufacturers who also rides. He was thinking about buying a Concours so I told him to take mine for a test run.
He asked me which way to go and I said take a right at the end of the hotel drive way and take a cruise. I didnt know where it went but it wasnt a very big property so I didnt think he could get lost. When he came back he had the biggest grin on his face. He said "I think that is a race track, it has banked curves and hash marks". I assumed he never rode a real good road because he was from MN (no offense to MN peps). We were not in any gear and were actually in dress clothes because we didnt expect to do any riding. He insisted I go ride it right then so I did. I made the same right he did and went maybe a 1/4 mile. There was 90 degree left to a less aggressive right. I saw the red and white hash marks and then I am on a true straight away. All I could think was "Holy $h!T this is a race track!!!!!" Turns out it was a 1.5 road course that you could just get on and run! Needless to say I told my buddy who was there that the race track existed so we ended up with my connie and his GTI running it. Below are some pics. We would have had more but we were completely unprepared for what we stumbled across and used what we had.
