That all changed when I joined the local Lotus owners' club. It doesn't even require a sports car to do. My first track day was almost a year before I bought the Lotus. The club announced a track day and I asked if they'd laugh if I took the Chrysler. Since then, I've tried to do four or five track days each year. I'm really hooked now and am trying to find ways to visit new tracks. So here's the list of tracks I've managed to drive on.

\nLap times are on Dunlop Direzza DZ101 or DZ102 tires (treadwear 460) unless otherwise noted.
