I meant near me and accessible from Patrick co. Va. Martinsville speedway is literally five minutes from my workplace and I've done service calls out around South Boston speedway, both ovals. Also worth noting and lesser known, Callaway in franklin co. - dominated by a pair of sign co. pintos for a decade until I lost track of ..the track. and several other smaller dirt tracks. All leftist. My dad was the infield nurse at Martinsville for a long time and the stories. (facepalm)
You left out Virginia international raceway. I hear it's nice but looks a bit like my commute(shrug). [We have good roads for spirited driving but I removed all that rambling.]
Also, woot classic Z! I miss my 70 mk4 mg midget from that era --that being the period when one of my friends had a 240z of equally ill function and repute..
We didn't race though. Just carved up old mountain back roads without death involved.
I do my crazy driving in gt6 with a t-500 simwheel these days. Cheaper on tires.

Very nice!
I wish they had something besides ovals around here, even if "nascar" did start here and the Woods brothers invented the fast pit-stop a few miles up the road, it's gotten too politicized and commercialized to no end which turns me off to the whole thing. Make them carry moonshine and I'll come back, and maybe I'll even get the old Malibu out and load it up for a run(kidding).
After traveling all over as a kid, I ended up here and grew up driving these windy old mountain roads so the whole left turn thing makes me yawn a bit. VIR is the closest road course but too far away for me.
