My track is better than yours
Check out Birmingham's newest edition. Only 20 minutes from my house! I went to a Rolex Series Race there a couple of weeks ago. I'll post some awesome pictures soon. Even a picture of me driving a racing editon Porshe 911 twin turbo. It has been rated as the #1 track in the U.S.

Nice tour, Doug! I'm was born and raised in Mobile. To my knowledge all they still have there are ovals and drag strips. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Here's my "adopted hometown" track in West Palm Beach:

I'm not sure about Mobile. I think the next closest road course besides this one is Road Atlanta. This Barber's track puts Road Atlanta to shame big time.

$1.43 per gallon. Racecar drivers don't have to pay taxes on their gas.
