In no particular order:

Race City (Calgary ... closed in 2011)
Spokane (prior to most recent reconfiguration)
PIR
Oregon Raceway Park
Reno-Fernley ("A" and "F" configurations)
Spring Mountain (1.5, 3.1 and 3.4 mile configs, plus one more not listed on the website)
Miller (Full and East)
Thunderhill
Sears Point / Infineon / Sonoma
Laguna Seca
Chuckwalla (both directions)
Buttonwillow
Edmonton Indy (temporary airport track ... both configurations)
CFB Edmonton/Namao (temporary airport track)
Stratotech
High Plains
VIR
Watkins Glen
Barber
Road Atlanta

20 tracks, 27 including various configurations … plus many autocrosses.

Are we counting ice racing tracks? If so, add four more of those (Cow Lake, Rob's Lake x 2 configs, Telford Lake).

My wife is very understanding (she's driven Race City and Telford Lake).

For those of you who can't comprehend the above, where else would a track instruction for new drivers be: "Down the front straight until you see the carrots drying, then turn right. You don't want to get into them as there's no traction out there, and we have to pay the farmer for his loss."

Also, you tracked out of those huge, sweeping turns to the edge of the concrete at your peril. Was probably a 4-6" drop if you dropped a wheel.

I was dangerous at ~30mph in the rental car. I tried to wrap my head around what it would be like in the 910 going down the hill after the main straight. Only thing that came to mind was old T2 at Laguna or maybe the esses at Riverside (but that was slightly uphill).

Eight tracks so far for me, and hope to keep adding to the list. Variety is fun, and I think has helped my driving. I like them all - no favorites, and none that I dislike.

We went to try and drive it but it was closed. Had a similar problem at Three Valleys last year. Two great ice tracks and not open. What is it with those guys?
