Let me get my track goodies list together....

I think I'm basically dead center to most of those tracks.

Chris:

We did a lot of research on weather and called a fair number of friends who live in the area around The Glen to make sure we wouldn't get snowed on. Historically it's cool, but suprisingly very little precipitation that time of year.

Hope to see a whole bunch of V on the track in 2009!

Yeah, they run Lime Rock up to the first of November as well. You usually don't see snow up here at that time of year that often, although it can happen. It's more the cold weather that gets you. Bring your gloves...

VIR, the Glen and Road Atlanta are certainly long term goals for me right now...

The more V we have at a track day, the better. Keeps the other "Sports Sedan" drivers egos in check. Happy Motoring and I'll see you at the track.

I'm skeptical Bluegrass will open this year, well maybe late in the season. They still have to do the top coat and let it cure a bit or it will be coming up in chunks as its driven over. I just hope they can survive 2009 with no revenue!

My boys at SCDA are running the FULL Monticello course on the 31st. If the SHO Convention's closing banquet wasn't the night before....damn...

I heard they were waiting for permit or something. If the track isn't ready there's little hope they will be open this year I'm guessing.

You want a wait? Try Valley Motorsports Park in NH...

TBJS, got some feedback on SCDA?

I'd heard they got the permit issue taken care of, something to do with water run-off areas for EPA and/or the Corps of Engineers because it's near a water supply. Even if they get the paving done, that paving REALLY needs to cure.

Autobahn Country Club let their pavement cure nearly six months and areas still broke up in hard breaking areas. so much so they used a polymer based asphalt in the heavy braking zones to prevent further problems. Worked out fine.

The country club tracks are popping up, well proposals for them, all over the country. There was one between Chicago and Indy that was supposed to be four separate tracks that could be connected to form one 6+ mile road course. They keep telling everyone ground breaking is soon, but nothing ever happens.

They seem to be a pretty well run group. Ian Prout runs things and he's a very personable guy. They run 2 Intermediate groups and have a good number of instructors. They have at least a couple events open to more advanced groups with fewer cars and a ton of track time.

TBJS, thanks for the feedback, I'm considering 09/14/09 at Thunderbolt with them.
