I was looking at heading to Laguna Seca with my car in August, but 2,900 miles each way plus the 3 day DE 6 days before, the 3 day DE at the track, and another 3 day DE after I get back made my wife a little leery of the time for travel and no honey-do time.
I countered with a willingness to stay closer to home (this year), ended up with 21 track days this summer break. Watkins Glen, NJMP - Lightning & Thunderbolt, Summit Point, VIR... I return to... Watkins Glen? I think. Later, Lime Rock is likely - but I need to confirm the targa is eligible there with the group I may join. Pocono won't be until September, and the late August opening of Dominion in Virginia is in question.
27 days committed to this year with 9 more on the docket as 'possibles.' Plus 10 Autocross days.
I call that a win for year 1.
