There are good back roads between our area and Dayton, after that it is Super Slab. VA/WV/SE Ohio awesome roads. - Gene

Yeah, just take Rt 50 from Winchester to Parkersburg. From there a some options: (1) 555 up to Zanesville, (2) 56 up to Springfield, or (3) stay on 50 to Cincinnati.

1. Bail off of US50 at Prunytown and go north/west on some more twisty roads all the way over to Lancaster, OH, stop for night, more twisty roads down to 56 then to Dayton, then super slab
2. Bail off of US50 at Grafton head south a little, then take twisty roads to I-77, then north to Marietta, Oh then more twisty roads to Lancaster. OH, stop for night, more twisty roads to 56, then to Dayton , then Super slab.

On return leave after race and get a bunch of the Superslab done before stopping for the night. Then bail off Super slab onto twisty roads near Hebron, OH and take different twisty roads, including 555 back to Clarksburg, then take US50 back to Winchester, then pick a route back to your destination.

Just my thoughts - Gene

And since the AMA races at Mid-ohio are before the Indy GP you can sample some of the roads, a dry run if you will, before yo go to Indy. Just an Idea. - Gene

I don't think there is a Ducati Island, I think there is a Ducati Package/grandstands, which is why I took the package that DucPond put together. The only Ducati Island this year is at Laguna is my understanding, but feel free to call Ryan to confirm. - Gene

Still a good time and I'm still going. I understand that the granstands are at Corner 9, I've never viewed the race from there but it seems like it should be a good loaction. - Gene

I'm still gonna head out to Indy for the other activities that will take place but it's just sad to see Ducati drop their involvement.
