1. Laguna Seca
2. Willow Springs Big Track
3. Buttonwillow
tracks I would like to run, but most are too far away:
1. Infineon/Sears Point - 420 mi. (I hope to make it there in '08)
2. Road America - 2100 mi.
3. Sebring - 2600 mi.
4. Watkins Glen - 2700 mi.

My fantasy is to sell the house, buy a motorhome/trailer, and spend a year or two visiting all the well known US/Canadian tracks.

#1 Nurburgring
#2 Hockenheim Ring
Did N'Ring a lot the first 2 years I was in Germany. H'Ring was a good track, but didn't care for how they did track days. People were a bit careless (3 wide through a hairpin on a track day, ect). Haven't done anything since I've been back, but I'm looking to make a pretty major career change next summer, so hopefully I'll be back in the game soon.

Tracks I want to go to:
1. Laguna Seca - 305 mi
2. VIR - 2,502 mi
3. California Speedway Roval - 52.4 mi
I know you said North America only, but Nurburgring is something I must experience in my lifetime.
