In case you were wondering, the schedule was set up based on where I would race if I was actually towing from track to track. Starting in Florida, I go from Homestead-Miami Speedway in South Florida, to Road Atlanta in Georgia. Then I head west to Barber Motorsports Park, followed by Circuit of the Americas (COTA) in Austin, TX.
Next, I go on my California swing, hitting the street circuit in Long Beach, Sonoma Raceway in Sonoma, CA, and WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca in Salinas, CA. From there, I make the long (virtual) drive to Wisconsin where I’ll race at Road America (my favorite track), then on to the road course at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Heading northeast, the next race will be in Upstate New York at Watkins Glen.
Lime Rock Park in Connecticut will host the next round of races, followed by Virginia International Raceway in Alton, VA. Then it’s back to Florida for the final two tracks. First, Daytona International Speedway, and finally, Sebring International Raceway.
When I was putting the schedule together, I thought about starting at the beginning of the year in the warm weather and slowly making it to tracks farther north once the year progressed and the weather improved. Tracks like Road America, Indianapolis, Watkins Glen, and Lime Rock are definitely summer tracks. It can get pretty cold at VIR too. In fact, one of the coldest places I ever raced was Road Atlanta 4-5 years ago. Man, it was cold.
That was the method behind my madness. Hope it makes sense for you now.
