I highly recommend (if you have the time) to discover Park Rd. 4
10 minutes north of Marble Falls off 281. It's an incredible drive for enthusiasts with superb curves and breathtaking views. You will not be disappointed. During the Bluebonnet bloom there are photographers everywhere. World class views for sure.

I make the drive a lot and was lucky enough to be on the road following a Lamborghini and Ferrari club drive. There was approx. 24 cars and it sounded like an F1 race...

Sounds like fun John. I'll check with the "activities director", but since she wasn't feeling well for the last NCCA cruise, I think she'll be excited about this one.

I think we'll just take one car though, so we can have a designated driver for the return trip...

The fastest I drove through the dips was 75mph.
Any faster and I would have hurled. Lots of vertical g's...

Some nice shots. Last time I drove PR4, I was with a group of friends. I was directly behind a friends Viper. I shot this video.

Driving is a heck of a lot more fun than sitting in a parking lot. Come on out.

Great video, Oscar. I'm so glad your camera picked up that guy in the white pickup. I'm not sure anybody would believe us when we told them he just pulled over into the ditch & kept going the same speed he was on the road. He was bouncing up & down & going around trees. You had to see it to believe it.
