I'm now 20 minutes from Sonoma, 3 hours from Laguna Seca and 2 hours from Thunderhill.
I'd be broke, divorced, or probably both cause I'd be at a track every weekend.... hell I'd have to get a job at one of em… or all of em…

Pitt Race is my local track. 25 minutes away.
Nelson Ledges is 1.5 hours, Mid Ohio is 3 hours and Watkins Glen in 4.5 hours. Lucky me.

He was also partial owner of BIR for a period of time, quite a bit of footage of him on the old Donnybrooke track in the Paul Newman Winning video.
Lots of movie stars and their finance people live near Summit Point and it goes back to when Joseph P Kennedy was a Hollywood Producer living in Gloria Swanson's house across the street from actor Robert Wagner. Even a World Bank official lived within walking distance of Summit Point although they moved to Holland several years ago.

There is a proposed new track possibly to be built only 8 miles north of me here in southern MN. The planned plot of land sold a couple weeks ago so I'm hoping the track is a go. Possible 5.2 mile Road Course with multiple configurations and a 1.25 mile straight. Also go cart track and Condo/Garages. Here is a story from local paper you probably won't be able to read, but image of proposed track you will see.

told the wife if this happens we are selling the house and moving to the track, she laughed, I thinks she thinks I'm joking.... :)

Recently moved from Northern Maryland (previously Northern Virginia) to Huntsville, AL and attended my 1st HPDE at Road Atlanta this weekend with MVP! I managed a best lap time of 1:45.5 as I learned the new circuit. Awesome track!
