That is a great idea. Didn't know they existed but would be interested if one was built in the bay area.

To hell with the deep 5-figure golf memberships around here!

Here's the one closest to me, still a 4 hour drive. http://www.virclub.com/vir/ and one that they have been trying to build for years, http://www.dragonsridge.com/

The concept of these country clubs are pretty cool. If I didn't race I would think strongly of joining one to get my on-track thrills.

I've been to Autobahn twice (my Avatar image is from me on the South track). It's very interesting to see the members doing laps there. I guess there is a little car-money floating around Chicago. I watched a Ford GT (on slicks) chasing a Carerra GT last summer during a race event there. Typically a race club will rent one track while members are free to use the other.

Scott G will need to be a member of this Country Club when it's build south of Albert Lea:

I've talked to Bruno about his planned Country Club near Minneapolis. While it will cater to the exotic car guys he will make it open for regular guys to hold meetings there. I'd hope there in enough of the high-end guys ($$) around here to make it work.

They are building one in Monticello, NY for opening next year. Going to look at in the spring since it is not that far away from me
