I think it would be a great time. Where would I check to see about events in central OH. Mid-Ohio is 20 minutes away . . . but, never heard about track days. They seem to be rented by clubs alot though.

'Coaster is right; closest road course is 4 hours away from us in San Diego. That means LEAVING the house by 4AM to get to the track by 8AM.
Too much driving for too little driving....if you get my 'drift'.
Although, I plan on going with my son to Buttonwillow this winter when it cools off and running my C4 agains his VW. (and he will run away from me)

Been to Summit Point and Watkins Glen so far... 
Any track day I do I grab a hotel room and come the night before so I can be fresh the next day. I can't do it any other way
