Firstly let me introduce myself

. I have an S1 elise 135 Sport which I have owned on an off for 3 years. I live in Scotland and am big Dario Franchitti fan and have been for years. I always try to get to the States at least once or twice a year to watch him race. Of course in 2008 he will be in NASCAR.
My friend and I (he owns an S2 exige) have just booked flights to the Vegas Cup race in March. We will be flying into Vegas on the Thursday before the race and then heading off from there on the Monday to catch a flight back home from Denver on the following Friday.
We are looking to take in some good driving roads and was wondering if any "locals" had any route or place recommendations for the trip.
Unfortunately we wont be hiring an elise and may have to hire a 4x4 SUV because of the time of year. Not really investigated the weather yet - only booked the flights about an hour ago on the spur of the moment

But remember there is no car faster than a hire car
I have been to California and Vegas a couple of times and so far all we have in mind is that we would quite like to go round the south rim of the Grand Canyon. The rest is a blank sheet of paper.
If you ever find yourself in Scotland you can find loads of like minded people at
www.scottishelises.com
Cheers
Stewart
