I figured you all would be the best source for this. One of our drivers (MazdaSpeed 3) lives out in Minnesota. He had a blast the last time he was able to drive with us (in a friend's BMW). He asked if I knew of any area tracks and/or groups that he could get more track time with. I am at a complete loss here. I realize that he'll probably be far from any track given the weather in Minnesota . . . but does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

That depends Bonster. How big are his attachments? Minnesota is home to Brainerd International Raceway which is generally considered the fastest road course in North America. The track is fun but the speed can be a little intimidating to some at first. I’ll PM you my email. Pass it on to him and I’d be glad to get him set up with some groups here. I know of two DEs in June. There are probably more.

Also Road America is just next door in Wisconsin. It’s one of my favorite tracks. Our region has a DE there in July.

Bon, have him take a look at the trackpedia website. Many of the regulars on that board are from that area.

Thanks Jim, Jerry. I referred him to Jim's email addy (thanks for the PM) and to the TrackPedia site. I'm sure he'll be so pleased!

If others don't know about Trackpedia it's worth a look. They have information about tracks all over the world. I always look there first for track maps, video and sometimes track notes.

Thanks Jim for the plus one on TrackPedia . . . I sent your email addy and a link to the website.

I already heard from Ian and sent him links to info on some upcoming track days. Hopefully I'll have a chance to meet him sometime.

That will be really cool if you all get to meet up Jim. Ian has been to Thunderhill with us once . . . I think he's ADDICTED.
