    I am currently on night shift. I only have work if a bird comes in for a service, or if a pilot breaks something on the engine... So usually once or twice a week i have actual real work to do. It is pretty lonely on nights so i just chat on the interweb

    There is a private track club somewhere outside of Chicago, I remember reading about it in Car and Driver. Can't remember the name of it, if they even printed it. The track might be in Michigan or Indiana but it's a couple hours drive from Chicago. The guy who built it owns a couple bars in Wrigleyville.

    Im stationed out of Alaska. I am an engine repairer/maintainer. I am in training right now to get my pilots license and when i get out of the army I am going to a flight school called APTflightschool to be an airline pilot. Probably will be flying CRJ 700s to start.

    Finally got an email back from a guy that runs this place. He said I could come down and check it out, he would ride right seat and give me a tour of the track and I could drive on it for the whole day for only $2500. So If you are in the area, i suggest you check it out. The track looks amazing and I'm sure the facilities are as well!

    If I am ever in the NY area again (I have family there and in MA) then I will probably try to take a day to check it out. Just for something to do

    Man why I love Britain
    We can do that on tracks used in F1 and F3, GT and saloon race series for 1/10th that !!
    Enjoy and remember and discuss discount for club arranged days to research your business plan and not just hoon around for a day and ruin tyres/brakes and possibly ego

    Sadly it costs more than that to get the car over and mate now decides he DOESNT want to do it, so plans are shelved
