Hey RapidG, Sounds like fun is this a local MB club sponsoring? A bit far for me to join in but sounds like a blast. Hey, do they still do concerts and such at Nelson Ledges? I grew up in Chesterland and went to some wild parties/concerts there in my younger days

Nelson Fun
Nelson Ledges State Park is about 2 miles from the track, and is still a venue for wild parties, but the State is cracking down a bit. Still some private land adjacent to the park where "anything goes".
This is a MBCA section event. There are at least 5 events on the east coast this year - Beaver Run, Summit Point, VIR, and one in Lakeland FL in 2 weeks, besides the Nelson Ledges event. Sorry, you guys on the left coast have to make your own fun!! :p

MBCA can be found at http://www.mbca.org/
If however, you're primarily interested in getting your car on the track, there are almost always events going on.
A good place to start would be NASA's HPDE or High Performance Driving Events.

There are plenty of other organizations that get involved in track day events, from Porsche Club of America, to TCRA in soCal, and I know AZ must have a good number of events as well.
Happy hunting!
