Inspired by Chris Drake, preparing to launch a formidable 4,500-mile racing trip that will stretch over 35 days, pass through 21 states and two countries, and hit FIVE of North America's most awesome sports car tracks. Three PCA races along the way.

It begins Monday in Florida and ends in mid-September in New Orleans...smack dab in the middle of hurricane season. What could possibly go wrong?

August 3-6 Canadian Tire Motorsports Park - PCA Races
August 10-13 Indianapolis Motor Speedway - PCA DE
Sept. 1-4 Road America - PCA Races
Sept. 6-7 Atlanta Speedwerks - Rehab & tires
Sept. 9-10 Barber Motorsports Park - Chin Track Days
Sept. 14-17 NOLA New Orleans - PCA Races

Good luck!

I'm hoping to do a few of these in the future as my daughter heads off to college in 2018!

Glad to be such a positive influence! That trip looks amazing and like how you continue to have fun in the car that's "for sale"...

Joining for the 2018 SPB west coast experience?

Chris, my wife understands this will make the car more valuable.

And because you won't be at any of these races, there's a good chance of more podium stickers.

Which, of course, will make the car even more valuable.

Awesome, I am sure you will have a fantastic time.

What are your plans for the 2 weeks between Indianapolis and Road America?

I will be looking forward to your updates. Have a great and safe time. Oh, hopefully win some races too

Stashing the rig with a former PCA racer in Indianapolis and flying back to Florida for a few weeks.

Good chance for a podium at Mosport: just 2 SPBs entered. And, so far, only 3 SPBs registered at Road America, out of 140+ cars. We had 36 SPBs at Watkins Glen and 30 at Sebring.
