My favorite track is Sears Point. Fun to drive, great area, the old Wine Country race was great, it’s a bit too “Monterey” now since the organizers want it to outshine Monterey, so I’ll probably skip that and do the CSRG Charity Challenge instead. As Kas said, there are a lot of spots where you can almost everything. <div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Road America is my #2. Great track, great facilities, and Elkheart lake lives and breathes racing. I’d rank it a lot lower for spectating if your interest is seeing a lot of stuff simultaneous. It’s more like two curves for each viewing area. Big track. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Watkins Glen is #3. Again, a great track, lovely facilities though not quite the same friendliness and open character of Road America. Has all the same overarching character of Elkhart lake, but with a little less racing emphasis. Some good places to see the track with a more open view than RA. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Mosport is #4. Facilities are primitive but fun, long way from anywhere, but 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’t imagine driving it on a wings and slicks car or a motorcycle. But they do. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">VIR—great facilities, okay track. Hard to see a lot of the track at a time, but wow, do they put on a show. </div><div class="">Limerock—nice place, great area, track is kind of boring. </div><div class="">Laguna Seca—great corners connected by too much straight. Fun on a motorcycle or a big HP car, but for 2K pound, 150HP cars it’s not the best. Still, it’s a fun track but the monterey Historic (or whatever it’s called now) is more of a car show than a race. You spend a lot of time sitting around. Lots to see and do, but depeinding on whether you drive saturday or sunday you may not be able to do a lot of the most interesting things. Still, great show, car guys dream, but probably not every year anymore, like I used to do. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Mar 27, 2015, at 11:25 AM, Kas Kastner via Fot <<a href="mailto:fot@autox.team.net" class="">fot@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class="">Sear's point has to get my vote.
