Help me find a place to track my car

Here is my story. This would only be the second time I tracked a car. I'm a novice, and I do not want to get really crazy.

My issue is I work weekends. Where is there an event like hooked on driving in either the Baltimore or Pittsburgh area, or just an open auto-cross/track day on a Wednesday or a Thursday that I could take my car.

My father tools around with his car (a Chrysler Crossfire), and I think it would be a good Father's Day gift to take him also.

Thanks for any help! And I know I'm a super novice!

Looks like they have some evening events but not on Wed. or Thurs.

I've been to BeaveRun twice, now PittRace, and it's a nice easy track to learn and a proper road course.

Make the effort, even if you just go to spectate the first time.

Summit Point (WV) has FATT (Friday's at the Track) every Friday. It's on the expensive side, but they have instructors available. http://summitpoint-raceway.com/progr...-at-the-track/

Audi Club Mid-Atlantic and Trackdaze usually have a Monday/Tuesday at VIR, but that's a haul from PA.

NJMP has a few scattered weekdays available: http://www.njmp.com/trackdays/

Decent list of what's going on during the days you are interested in.

Not 100% complete but a solid start point

SCDA as well.

Track days are usually NOT on weekends mainly because weekends are race days.


Also there is a new thing called Track Nights where you can get like an hour of track time at specific tracks on weeknights.
