Well another Pebble Beach Week has come and gone and it was another great year. Looking for a new perspective on what has become almost routine decided to start things off this year with a driving trip. I flew to Albuquerque where I joined my friend Paul for a two-lane, high-speed run through though New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and into California in his new 2014 Corvette Sting Ray.
The entire drive turned out to be a nice run with a mix of tight on camber corners, high speed sweepers combined with some flat out straights through some of the most beautiful scenery the American West has to offer. Very little traffic and almost no law enforcement made for relaxing extra-legal cruising speeds.
I’m always taken with just how big and beautiful this country is. This new C7 was really showcased on the two-lanes of the American West. A very impressive automobile the new Corvette combines the best attributes of a sports and GT car with an almost unbelievable performance envelope in a comfortable, user friendly package.
All images were taken with Fuji X100s 35mm, f2.0 in Velvia film mode except for those on Bixby Bridge and PCH. Pictures 12, 14, 15 & 16 were taken with Nikon D7000 using AF-S Nikkor 55-200mm 1:4-5.6G ED lens in A-mode
