What tracks have you driven?

Just to get an idea of everyone's experience level, and to see where we all come from.

What tracks have YOU driven? - In any car, at any speed; the only requirement is that you were the driver, and you completed 1 lap



J. Tyler's list:

Thunderhill, CA
Laguna Seca, CA
Buttonwillow, CA
Willow Springs, CA: Big Track, Streets, and Horse Theif Mile
California Speedway, CA: Roval and infield road course
Spring Mountain (Pahrump), NV
Sebring, FL
Road America, WI
Mid-Ohio, OH
Carolina Motorsports Park, SC

A couple of the tracks were just parade laps but most of them were driven in 'anger'...

Road America
Blackhawk Farms
Gingerman (old & new)
Mid-Ohio
Lime Rock
Summit Point
Indianapolis Raceway Park (Formula Ford school on the oval)
TWS
VIR
MSR-Houston
MSR-Cresson
GrandSport Speedway (brand new track south of Houston)
As of Sept...Watkins Glen (in the 135!)

I haven't done anywhere near the number of events that m3bs has but it's definitely been a blast! Mine were mostly split between a Miata, 318ti and an E36 M3 (none in my 1 yet either).

Yes, and then some :biggrin: It's like a big car meet, bike meet, and track day all at once. And the track happens to be the coolest one in the world.

Gratten Raceway, MI - e36 328i

When I take delivery of the 1 through ED I'm taking it to the Nurburgring, and then doing PCD. Once that's done I plan on going to Mid-Ohio as soon as possible.
