Gainesville Raceway has a road course, but not sure if there would be something closer to the east coast.....

I think Starke, FL has a road track. But, for some reason I'm thinking it's a dirt track.

theres a **** ton of info on there about how to get onto track and ****. you just have to READ.

Sebring, FL, Daytona has a road course, Roebling Road in Bloomingdale, GA, Homestead has a road course, Road Atlanta, and so on.

This is hardly the best forum to find info like that, that's why I posted FRRAX.com.

You're about in the middle between two two really fun tracks. Roebling Road up near Savannah or Sebring down south pretty much right in the middle of the state in basically the middle of nowhere. Roebling is less than a 3 hour drive from St. Augustine and it's a straight shot up 95. Plus it's a great track to learn on so that's my recommendation.

The best source for track days is Track Schedule. The Florida Crown Region Porsche Club will be there on September 13th & 14th. That's probably about the quickest you could get signed up for one so if you're serious about it you need to act now. They are a good group and I've run a bunch of times with them.

OK, there it is all spoon fed as requested.

I can't complain but it doesn't matter beacuse no one is listening anyway. We've missed you and your dad at the MSCC autocrosses. When are you coming out again?

Hopefully starting in September. With the way my school schedule has been all year I've had to pick up Sunday shifts at Honda. We've also been working on a Grassroots Motorsports $2008 challenge car that we'll bring out to test before the big challenge!

The entry fee is the cheap part. I wish I found going WOT in a straight line fun, it's alot cheaper than this.

get some track time via:

www.nasaproracing.com or www.chinmotorsports.com

Roebling near Savannah isn't too far from St. Augustine (see NASA SE Region).

Can't go wrong with Sebring.
