Haven't seen this posted elsewhere, for the sake of having a new thread to look at I figured it could of been left out of the BS thread. It's worth a read, probably not anything you didn't already know.

Sweet!

I have ridden on two and tracked on one. Not bad!

Road Atlanta will be in december, the Glen is on a short list for next year hopefully.

If I ever get a windfall of money I'll get a condo at VIR and die there.

Im not sure Im ready to handle Road Atlanta. I will put it into consideration when November rolls around.

Yeah I've been studying it, there are a few blind corners that looked pretty gnarly. But the way I look at it the more challenging tracks you drive the better you'll be able to tear through cmp (which I'd like to go back to this year but it's looking unlikely)

Cool article...definitely a list to scratch off

[itrsteez]

Not sure how to tackle the two california ones

Road tRip There's a few tracks out west I'd love to hit..

that'd be insane, well not really considering people do it for expo. If I was to do it I'd prefer it would be to knock out at least 2 tracks, one would have to be Laguna. Either way it's all crap talk, there's plenty of stuff on this side to cross off.

Well, I've only put 5k miles on 309 so far this year...needs much more

I'd like to hit Miller on the way there or back. Definitely a bucket list tRip to west coast.

Erik and I have been talking about this. As we get older, we will have more time, money, and vacation days. Collectively we could start doing a once a year trip to hit up tracks.

I wonder how not proud my kids would be after dragging them to events for 10 years and sleeping in a camper to find out I was just doing HPDE's

Well its funny because Andy, Patrick, and myself had a conversation today over lunch about kids at the track.

nothing wrong with HPDE's duder....

racing isn't for everyone -- but hpde's let you get the "led" out.

I only just started taking my times --- hpde's are fun, racing is political and focused.

wasn't knocking them, just making a joke about the kids finding out what I wasn't going to win anything. I don't have a competitive bone in my body (hence being a skateboarder for 15 years) so DE's are aok with me.

[Doespike]

Sebring would be a goot trip..

[coolhandluke]

I want to make it down there.
