Firebird Raceway is closest to you. They have 3 road courses and a drag strip. The most popular one is the MAIN track which uses part of the strip - http://www.firebirdraceway.com/web/trackrentals.html. West track is fun and so is east, but not for high HP cars. Here is a video of me at Main -

PIR is where the NASCAR run. You get to hit the oval, tons of walls. This track seperates the boys and girls. Its a 1hour drive from Tukee. Its fun, but gets boring after so many times. Another Video -

A new track in Wilcox opened up. This is about 3 hours from Tukee. Its called Inde Motorsports Ranch - http://www.vividracing.com/blog/rand...ng-in-arizona/

If none of that excites you, 5-7 hours to tracks in CALI including Fontana, Buttonwillow, and Willow Springs. Also 5 hours to a track in New Mexico.

I've never dragged the car, I get bored watching unless there's someone I know running. Looking for somewhere to stretch "the legs" occasionally without going to jail. Sebring was pretty cool, you could hit over 150 without pushing hard, and some nice high speed sweepers.

The tracks in AZ are kiddies playgrounds compared to the tracks we were spoiled with in FL. Don't expect too much.

Luis,

Was your sig picture taken at the end of turn 17 at Sebring (bumps on the inside)? It's a glorious pic

No, it was taken at a Porsche Supercup race somewhere in Europe.
