I'd love to have a track only 30 minutes away. I've got two 1.5 hours away...everything else is 3+ hours.

No doubt. 1.5 hours for me as well then 3-6 for the next three closest.

Oh man that sucks, I couldent do that unless I was getting paid and then a truck and trailer would be involved.

Props to you for the extra effort into a track day mate.

But, it's totally worth it for seat time...I'm driving 4-hours to Summit Point, WV this weekend for an event. I'll drive down Friday evening, spend all day (7am-6pm) Saturday and Sunday on track with two students (four-30 minutes/day in Novice + three-30minutes Saturday in Intermediate), plus as many sessions as I get in as a driver (probably three/four-30 minute sessions/day--if I get six in for the weekend I'll be thrilled) means I'll be on track for about 8.5 hours total for the two days. Pack up everything and then drive home Sunday night and go back to work on Monday.

On top of that I drive an 1.5 hours just to get to the garage to prep the car...so tonight I leave work at 5, drive to the garage, finish prep work (new pads/rotors/fluid, new axles, set alignment), then drive 1.5 hours home (if I am home before 1am I'll be thrilled). Repeat drive on Thursday to load the trailer (I don't drag the trailer, a friend has a two car trailer and hauls the cars).

LOL I've driven 24 hours+ to various tracks before.

Even if I had a track next door to my house I'd still do that. It's great fun to experience new tracks that you normally wouldn't drive!

Now that is the work of a true weekend warrior!

That reminds me I need some new pads, im starting to get some shack when I brake.

Thanks man....Once again all the work was worth it. Spent close to 4-hours Saturday and 1.5-hours on Sunday instructing and an 1.5-hours in the driver's seat of our Integra race car each day. If anyone has ever been Shenandoah then you know how slick that place is in the rain...so it was a tiring weekend. My arms are sore from working the wheel and I don't think I had ever spent so much time driving a FWD car sideways...all that time on the skidpad has finally paid off with save after save. I think I am done for the year now though....but there is a NASA weekend at NJMP the weekend before SEMA...hmmm.
