How about Ajo?
Meet at the Chevron near Wildhorse Raceway around 10am, take Maricopa road (az347) down to Mobile Road (az238: short 50 mile road, but lots of twisties on it).
From Gila Bend, go south on 85 to Ajo. Lunch break at the Estrella Cafe in the historic district (there are a couple antique shops there if anyone wants to walk around for a little while, too. Ajo's not as cool as Bisbee, but it's a neat little mining town)
Then north on 85 back up to the I-8 (Gila Bend bypass) The speed limit on I-8 is 75. It's a nice long 4 lane road to shake out the speed-demons, and the eastbound traffic is usually pretty light on Saturdays.
Jump off I-8 at Stanfield (az84), shoot back to az347, back up through Maricopa/Wildhorse, and home...
Total distance from the racetrack Chevron to Ajo, and back, is 199 miles; so figure on a total of 280-300 miles for the entire day if you are coming from the far north, or far east valley...
