Of these 55, I've been to 18 (+ 6 others that are now closed). I have a ways to go!

How many have you hit so far?

You also forgot COTA. That one, Laguna, Miller and HPR are my top 4.

[rohorn]

Never been on these, but...

Grattan Raceway, MI
Arroyo Seco, NM
Blackhawk Farms, IL

[Jon]

Raced or rode at 27 of the ones listed. Not to bad for a married man with two children 12 years old but still have a ways to go.....Looking forward to returning to Barber and there's still Road America and maybe a jaunt to Brainerd this summer.

[Jon]

Actually after a 2nd count I've ridden at 29 of them

[jmaher]

You better hurry and get to Miller. :(

[MadVlad]

Can't believe they're shutting down MMP, damn shame... I've only been to local tracks, only been to Indy for MotoGP but hope to ride many of these soon.

[TRK]

21 of them

If you're making the swing thru the NW add The Ridge! Newest track up there, but take your rain gear or make sure to hit it mid summer. They built a track in one of the wettest areas of western Washington.

Got it, thanks! Do you know if OMRRA is planning on going there at any time?

[TRK]

And miller is only changing ownership. I don't think they will be closing.

There was an article that said if a new owner doesn't come along that most likely it'll become training grounds for the local police force

[snowblaze506]

WMRRA is there for sure. Into BC and Alberta, I'd add Mission out side of Vancouver, BC, Race City by Calgary (Closed), and Whatever they're calling the track up at Edmonton these days. Spokane County Raceway (Spokane Raceway Park) used to be the longest straight west of the Mississippi at 3/4 of a mile and at only 2500 feet of elevation. They changed the layout a bit, but still a good track day to hit. No races there or at Oregon Raceway currently.

Here you go, hopefully someone saves it and keeps at it

I've only gotten to 11 on that list.


You should Arizona Motorsports Park to that list. It's a great track.

Speaking of Miller... is anybody going out there for the Motoamerica race in June?
