Depending on traffic, Sometimes I take marriottsville road home. The road fun level depends on traffic, but there are 2 points where most of the time people will turn and you're good to go.

Baltimore
Marriottsville rd @ rt 70, to Marriottsville rd @ Liberty Road.
8mi
Mostly 1 lane each way, goes through some woods, some rock quarry area. Speed limit is usually 30-40 but I have been known to go slightly faster

Keep in mind that towards the end (2/3 or 3/4 through) there is a hill, a dip and a hill. There is a Laurel cop who lives in the dip and parks his cruiser there. He left the Ka band radar turned on the other day (first time in ~4yrs). A buddy also got hit by a cop about 2 months ago along the road. But there are some points when you can just open up and its AWSESOME

Thanks for the heads up. I fixed it temporarily but I'm looking for suggestions for the area around Rt. 95. I think it would be hard to keep a group of cars together getting onto Rt.1 for that short period of time.

You have so many good roads down near you. I drive out 66 hit those roads up between Rt81 and Rt79!

Hey Brian you know of any big open parking lots nearby that can be used to practiced some VDC off driving when empty?

This is a short strech of road, but if your in the area it's easily accessible off of Rt. 100 and the road is fun to drive.

Drove this one yesterday. It was good, but the only problem is that the road is really small so I was kind of afraid to push it. Still fun though

I know exactly where this is, and I have driven Ridge Road instead of Race Road, and it is pretty nice.

I know a few truck/loading dock areas near Arundel Mills and near Jessup. I used to use them to practice on my motorcycle and some friends would practice stunting there. I'll try to get the specific addresses later. Not sure if I should post them so I'll PM them to anyone interested.
