do you have year around track days down there? are you guys planning to go again?

I dont know if there is a year around track. There is only 2 in my area. We might go next week for the last track day. Why were you wondering?

so i could be jealous h:

up here, since we have 6 months of snow and cold, the track is usually only open may - sept. there is maybe 1 sunday a month for open track days. we also have 2 tracks but one is like 45 minutes away, the other is more like an hour and 15 minutes away....
