Eureka Springs is one of my favorite places!!! As Sboden mentioned, there are some FANTASTIC roads there including the Pig Trail. The highway to get there shoots right out of E.S. Don't know if you're into the arts but the new Crystal Bridges Gallery in Bentonville is fantastic. It's worth the drive just so see the facility.

Here is a link to help you find some great roads. Just click on Arkansas. There are some FANTASTIC roads in the Harrison, AR. area.

So I'm curious then, when I get home tp KC, where would you recommend I go driving the Nismo? From what little time I've spent there, it seems plenty of the major freeways have some nice long sweepers here and there. They all seem well maintained, but I could go for a route that puts the Z's handling to good use.

One of the more popular roads is K-5 which runs from I-435 on the Kansas Side into Leavenworth/Lansing. Another is Mission Road in Leawood, south of 151st street. All around this area are some great roads. It's just a matter of finding a good map which shows county roads and just taking off and driving them.

Another great source is driving the SCCA Road Rallies. In the past few years they do this only in November. They run one course on Saturday and a different course on Sunday. The Rallymeister really finds some great roads, the kind of roads you want to go back and drive later.
