  • Road America, US (Elkhart WI)
  • Mid-Ohio, US (Lexington OH)
  • VIR, US (Alton VA)
  • Road Atlanta, US (Braselton GA)
  • Infineon, US (Sonoma CA)
  • Willow Springs, US
  • Nurburgring Nordschleife, Germany

A few others I’m considering:

  • Losail
  • Monza
  • Misano
  • Brno
  • Brans Hatch
  • Vallelunga
  • Magny Cours
  • Portimao

I better stay really focused next year so I can do all of that.

As for next year my plan is to hit the local tracks for my usual track day work. Gotta get faster. Luckily for me there are 5 local tracks (3 are at MSR). The MSR tracks and Oak Hill will do a great job making me fast. If I can get fast on Oakhill (the current lap record is 1:21.824 held by Ty Howard) then I can go fast anywhere. I’d say about the same with MSR’s new track because it is very twisty with lots of elevation changes to deal with. It is literally built on the side of a hill.

I also plan on doing Barber next year for Super bike school. I’m going to do levels 3 & 4.

Anyway, My goal is to start going through the list (3 days at each track) in 2009. So I have my work cut out for me.
