The Ultimate ROAD RACING Vacation - What should one DO and SEE?



Like the Title says I am on Vacation for about a month from July to August and I am already in Florida. I seen a couple of small tracks in Arizona and Texas but did not stop, I am looking for any tips or advice on this once of a life time event. I was thinking about some MUSEUMS and WORLD FAMOUS tracks and even trying to take a peek at the HQ of Real Time Racing located in Wisconsin. I know its not a lot of time especially for events but if anyone knows anything it would be great I will post pics as well.


Thanks in advance,
Charles

I forgot I am from California and I am looking for Road Race places to visit or see let's see what happens thanks.

 

Sebring, Daytona, VIR.... What direction are you headed in?

 

I am headed where ever the wind blows if its a must see I will do.

 

stinky is having a going away in IL I might end there if time lines up.

 

Just decided going to Daytona I think Sebring might be to far but it does have a lot of history and thats too cool.

Now Indy is on the list yeah

 

petit lemans at road atlanta is a must see event

 

oh yeah Road Atlanta they are having some thing this weekend thanks

 

Be careful Charles you might end up divorced half way through...
Make sure you hit some garden, quilting,and knitting places too.

 

I am all over it we were in Austin TX and we visit Marriage Island I am smarter than the average bear.

 

Always wanted to see the corkscrew and stand on it

 

Come to Nelson Ledges and I'll give you a ride around the track you won't soon forget:

www.Nelsonledges.com

 

Let me know the time and day and I will be there.

 

are you talking about Laguna Seca and I have been there amazing and beautiful but never stood on it but I plan to run it one day.

 

Corkscrew is the best turn i have ever drove on.
Turn 5 at Thunderhill is the second ... but i dont like how things get stacked up there when you are following slower traffic...

 

Hey Paul shouldnt you dislike turn 5 at thunderhill bad memories.

 

Headed to Sebring today or tomorrow hope its good.

 

indy hof is awesome.

and if you are going east from indy then you might as well stop by midohio..it is only of the beaten path(70) by a little bit.

 

i would go drive as much as i could. i dont wanna 'see' anything

 

Its not such a bad turn when you dont have monkeys jumping the berms and t boning you.
I have forgiven the turn, not the monkey!

 

Ditto.
Skip the NASCAR crap and skip the shop visits. Hook up a trailer and hit up all the drag strips, autocrosses, and road racing events you can!

 

the fun of different tracks is layouts..elevation changes..etc. a dragstrip is flat and 1320ft. the only thing that changes there is scenery. unless you go to somewhere like sonoma where the dragstrip is at the "track" then that would be worth it.

 

Brand new NASCAR hall of fame here in Charlotte, plus headquarters for tons of go-fast part manufacturers.

And you should go to Laguna Seca.

 

come up from FL and hit Road Atlanta, Roebling Road, Barber (motorsports museum there), VIR, Mid Ohio, Watkins Glen then NYC (not sure why anybody would want to go there)
