I have been working down my list.... In addition to the fantastic local California tracks I have driven (California /Autoclub speedway, Buttonwillow, Willow springs, Chuckwalla valley) I am working on my big three dream tracks:
1) Daytona - complete
2) Laguna Seca - complete (last week)
3) Road America - just signed up to run there in 3 weeks
Now I have to work on expanding my list....

This is me at CMS:
I have done Charlotte for 4 straight years until I did Dayotna last Dec - makes Charlotte seem slow. I can't believe the 24hr course is not on more peoples list. 178mph down the front stretch

VIR - done -many times
Road Atlanta - done - few times
Sebring - done - 2 years ago
Watkins Glen - 3 times now in past 2 years
Barber Motorsports - next week
Daytona - hopefully this year
Lowes/CMS - this year or next year
NJMP - this year maybe
Mid-Ohio - next year
Summit Point - sometime
My bucket list is very doable and I am going to do it, no maybe or day dreaming. I started on my mission to do them 3 years ago and next year I'll have them done. I love VIR and it's my home track but the rest are all very doable. Just takes more than a day trip.
Of all the tracks I fell in love with Watkins Glen. The elevation changes and the sweeping turns and climbing esses are a blast. It takes VIR to another level. Road Atlanta scares the crap out of me and I love it. Want to do Daytona or Lowes so I can also say I did a high bank roundy round track too.

2 years ago, i made the goal to start and finish a driver stint in the conti tire series.
Having run the GA/CTSCC support race at NJMP, it reinforced my need to be part of that series. Unfortunately, i have no idea how to find the funding to do so.

Pikes Peak hillclimb - Ive wanted to do this since I was kid
Pagoda and Duryea hillclimbs in pa
Virginia City Hillclimb
sand hills open road challenge
VIR - I live 4 hours away yet never have been!
NCCAR even closer yet have never been...
As many dirt/gravel rallies I can find after I get to building up another car...
Out of country (less likely):
Nurburgring Nordshleife - in my own car - last time I was there I found out the rental companies track their cars and get you (i guess extra charges) if you take them on the track (who would have guessed?
). Huge disappointment not getting to run!
Rally Targa Newfoundland
Rally Targa New Zealand

Some companies like RSR Nurburg will rent you track-orientated cars to go 'round the 'ring.

Like several of you have already said, I am going to have to add Circuit of the Americas to my list after watching this past weekend (on TV).
That series of S's (esses?) is unreal!
