I was thinking road course... but anything really!

Wonder what a track day costs.

Toronto Motorsports Park - Road Course

Cayuga WAS $120/DAY in 2013

Ahh... That's what I was looking for!

depending on how construction goes on the new house, i'd like to try and do the july 5 & 6 ondr with the "studeshaker" at grand bend.

I have run many runs at grand bend...if you are looking for a few fun runs I highly recommend the test and tune nights. I did not go last year but did the previous 6 years at least once a year and allwys had fun. The best test and tune nights to go are when there is a smaller event being held on the Saturday...lots of people running some pretty wild rides to tune them in.

A few of my friends compete at mosport...fun track

The June 20-22 - 15th ANNUAL MOPAR NITROJAM NATIONALS promises to be one awesome event. Definitely one I'd love to see. Steamer has mentioned that too.
Probably make an appearance there on one of those days.

been to nitrojam a few times...it's pricey (especially the sunday) but a great time. Booking a campsite near the races is nearly impossible the closer you get to those dates so if you plan on spending the night...book sooner than later.

Day trip, probably Saturday would suit me. If I were 'camping' it would be at the Holiday Inn....
