I keep finding all these awesome tracks that offer club memberships that get you lots of track time all year. Stef brought my attention to this with her articles about Harris Hill and I just saw Lemons post on facebook about going to Carolina Motorsports Park and I looked that up and saw they have a club membership.
The problem is none of these tracks are within any reasonable distance of me so a year membership doesn't really work. Are there any tracks with a good deal withing 300 miles of Chillicothe, Ohio?

Does Mid Ohio not have one?

They do HPDE at Mid-Ohio on a regular basis, I went there for a NASA HPDE back in 2008. https://www.midohio.com/Home
Gingerman raceway near Grand Rapids Michigan hosts two Lemons races a year, including one next month. You could probably find a seat in a Lemons car at Gingerman here: http://forums.24hoursoflemons.com/viewforum.php?…
They have Lemons races and HPDE events at Autobahn in Joliet IL.

No and I wouldn't expect them to. The programs I'm talking about are found at lower level tracks. Nelson Ledges would be ideal but they don't have one.

I know about tracks in general but I want to find one with like a club membership where you pay a annual or monthly fee and get a ton of track days.

Oh, okay. I have no idea what tracks are in the area besides Mid Ohio. Sorry I can't really help you.

In Las Vegas the club membership at spring mountain is expensive. Also track days there are extremely infrequent. Then I look across the border to California in Socal at any track there is at least one HPDE a month, sometimes multiple. Disadvantage of living in Nevada.... idk if I want to drive 200+ miles for that.

Unfortunately I think the closest one to you is Autobahn in Illinois, which isn't that close. Or thats the closest one I know of. Anything in Kentucky?

THIS IS PERFECT!!!! THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU SO MUCH! Ever since Stef wrote about Harris Hill I became enamored with the idea of a race course I could drive just about whenever I wanted for a monthly fee. Soon as I figure out what I want for a sorted track car next thing is to begin paying for membership. I tell you where I'm going every three day weekend now.

Yeah, Nelson Ledges fun days are the closest I can find to something as affordable as a club membership but I really wanted something that I could use a ton. Thanks for the tip on drive bluegrass again.

I'm a member of H2R as well so I can attest to how awesome it is. This place looks a little pricey, but at least they let you sell your membership so you can get your initiation fee back later. Best of luck.

Yeah, it's more than some of the great options you guys have but this is one of the cheapest I've seen in any reasonable distance. The one in Illinois is a lot more and further.

That's still pretty far away, maybe you can convince them to give you an even cheaper membership since you're coming from so far away. I'm actually moving away from Austin soon and the #1 thing I'm going to miss is H2R.

Mid Ohio is my closest track and it's 120 miles so a little more distance isn't a big deal. Even autocrosses are a bit of a drive for me. All three of the SCCA regions around me are an hour away all in different directions. On the plus side though that means I have three different regions I'm smack dab in the middle of so not running out of autocross events any time soon.

Well shit... Noise levels are the biggest issue for most tracks, it's insane to start building before you have that shit totally locked down.

Yeah, one of the places I autocross is a dragstrip/banked oval and they are super strict on their noise policy. A lot of the residents already hate the track as is.

Further than Mid Ohio and I don't think they are offering any kind of club membership.

I'll sell you my H2R membership. Unfortunately I'm moving to Houston next year.
