Mac, that's a big 10-4. You're going to see ~300/day for track events. Chin Motorsports, NASA, and Hooked On Driving are the main organizations, as mentioned. I've heard of guys in California paying $100 for a track day at the main tracks. Not sure why the disparity. I suppose it's what the market will bear.

Sebring is a wonderful place, though. There's no place like it.

I ran Daytona prior to the repaving and did not like it. I won't be back. It was boring to me and fairly dangerous. Homestead is a fun track, just a long haul to get down there and you'll want to look for 2-day events to make it worthwhile. All 3 organizations run there.

PBIR is a nice facility. The track is not bad. I would rank it behind Sebring and Homestead.

There is a new track in Starke which is NE of Gainesville. There have been some configuration / safety issues they supposedly have sorted out. Not sure about it as I haven't seen it with the changes. If so, that may be a somewhat lower cost option. I'd pay $200 to go there.

Several of us from Orlando are running at Sebring with Chin April 9th. A few cobras, Panoz cars, and I'm taking my Miata.

Mac, plan on spending a lot of time at Sebring. That ain't a bad thing. If I could only run Sebring for the rest of my life I wouldn't complain.

Oh, occassionally some of us get up to Roebling Road in Savannah, GA. That's a fun track. We had a Chump Car race there a few months ago and had a real good time.

See you at the track.

Jim
