I need to go on a World track tour

Watching a race is soooo much more interesting when you've been on the track. Even G will watch any class of racing at VIR because she knows the corners. We'd rather watch formula xtreme races at VIR than moto gp anywhere. (televised that is...we'd rather go see some big events in person).
So wouldn't it be fun to schedule vacations to ride the famous tracks we watch all the time from the couch?

I agree. I saved all of the World SBK and AMA races at Miller for that very reason. Now I just need to sell a few organs so that I can visit Phillip Island.

It's been a dreamof mine to get a motorhome/toy hauler, load up a track bike, and tour the US doing track days at all of the really neat tracks.
As Statler alluded to, it would take a big Lotto hit......

OMG, I have the same idea!
My other one (concerning what I'd do with a big lotto hit) is building my
own
track using the best features of other tracks. Corkscrew from Laguna, parts of Mid-Ohio etc.
Oh, and It'd be
indoors
go big or go home [moto]

I know! I saw it on the 675 forum and it's just such a good last laps battle for the lead, riding at 11/10ths or more that I had to save it.
Those guys have big ones.
Big big ones.

pity we didn't all have time (and a bike in your case!) to do the afterburner day after the wsbk round. Maybe next time!
btw I have some hi-res photos somewhere from Carmello's camera - if you want them, send a mailing address and I'll send the CD
