What's your HPDE track wish/bucket list
I've researched every HPDE organizing body I can think of and can not find anyone who offers an event at these tracks;
Michigan international speedway (not Gingerman)
Indianapolis motor speedway
Anyone in the know?

There is a Mini Cooper driving experience that runs the road course configuration at the indianapolis motor speedway. I have been around the oval in an SS trailbalzer when a friend worked there, but have not been lucky enough to drive my own car.
Laguna seca is on my bucket list

I just plan on doing all the tracks in California. I am around half way there.

Entering my 75th year, I find that I have NO (toy) "bucket list" items left unchecked..............................w ith the possible exception of owning and flying my OWN P-51 Mustang (Your results may differ)

I'm also an east coaster, so I am quite lucky to have the glen and mosport so close.
Leguna Seca is a definate buck lister, and I plan on doing VIR in the next couple years.

Lime Rock, Watkins Glen, VIR, Sebring, Rd Atlanta, Mid-Ohio, Rd America, Laguna Seca. Some may want to add COTA to that. The history, the pro racing all adds to the aura of the track.
I have been at Laguna and Thunderhill in CA but not Sears Point; maybe someday but not a burning desire, just not the cache of Laguna.

I would like to do Mid Ohio an Road Atlanta before I pack it in. So far have lots of years at the Glen, and a couple of events each at Sebring and VIR. Hope to do more events at VIR next year and hope to get back to the Glen for at least one event. I really miss that track.

VIR is on the 2015 list. Longer term is Road America and Laguna Seca.
My non racing bucket list includes driving across the US. Maybe I can combine them and pull a trailer!

The legacy tracks that go on a bucket list are a combination of history and driving experience. My particular list is:
Lime Rock, Watkins Glen, VIR, Sebring, Rd Atlanta, Mid-Ohio, Rd America, Laguna Seca. Some may want to add COTA to that. The history, the pro racing all adds to the aura of the track.

I've only done this for a few years, so the only one I have crossed off my bucket list is Road America.
I'm sure I will forget something in this list.
Sebring
Watkins Glen
Road Atlanta
VIR
Mid Ohio
Indy
Daytona
I would love to drive some tracks out of the country, but that is fairly unrealistic for me, I think.

Looking at these same organizing bodies schedules this upcoming year, things wont work out like that. Daytona is the same week, but the others are not. However you could pull of a Daytona and motorsports park in Bowling Green within a one week span next April.
Another one I found offers all 4 Florida tracks, one day at each, all within 4 days, with hotels included. I don't know much about it, and I think it's the first year they've offered it. May 4-7, 2015

done Mosport, the Glen and Mid-Ohio many times (SM 3 times as well out west)
Road America as well on my list (of course Spa, Monza and the Ring but that is doubtful).
