Sear's point has to get my vote. I've either raced at, been a car owner,
team owner at most tracks in the USA. Sear's Point ( they keep changing the
name so I will just call it Sear's Point), North of San Francisco has a
several spots where you can see about 70% of the race track and still feel
close to the cars and see the drivers in the cockpit in action. Just
wonderful for seeing who has the power and who has the handling and who has
the talent.

*Never be beaten by equipment.*

The question was not =E2=80=9Cwhat=E2=80=99s your favorite track as a drive=
r=E2=80=9D but since I don=E2=80=99t generally spectate except F1 on televi=

since the organizers want it to outshine Monterey, so I=E2=80=99ll probably=

e a lot of spots where you can almost everything.=C2=A0
Road America is my #2. Great track, great facilities, and Elkheart lake liv=
es and breathes racing. I=E2=80=99d rank it a lot lower for spectating if y=
our interest is seeing a lot of stuff simultaneous. It=E2=80=99s more like =
two curves for each viewing area. Big track.=C2=A0
Watkins Glen is #3. Again, a great track, lovely facilities though not quit=
e the same friendliness and open character of Road America. Has all the sam=
e overarching character of Elkhart lake, but with a little less racing emph=
asis. Some good places to see the track with a more open view than RA.=C2=
=A0
Mosport is #4. Facilities are primitive but fun, long way from anywhere, bu=
t the nearby towns are nice. Challenging driving. You need a third testicle=
 to drive it well. Never boring. You may find yourself sitting in your car =
after practice, wondering if this is really something you should do. I can=
=E2=80=99t imagine driving it on a wings and slicks car or a motorcycle. Bu=
t they do.=C2=A0
VIR=E2=80=94great facilities, okay track. Hard to see a lot of the track at=
 a time, but wow, do they put on a show.=C2=A0Limerock=E2=80=94nice place, =
great area, track is kind of boring.=C2=A0Laguna Seca=E2=80=94great corners=

or 2K pound, 150HP cars it=E2=80=99s not the best. =C2=A0Still, it=E2=80=99=
s a fun track but the monterey Historic (or whatever it=E2=80=99s called no=
w) is more of a car show than a race. You spend a lot of time sitting aroun=
d. Lots to see and do, but depeinding on whether you drive saturday or sund=
ay you may not be able to do a lot of the most interesting things. Still, g=
