Track days near Orlando?

[Christien]

I'm taking the family to Disneyworld in February (8-15) and my dad and I would like to split from Mickey to do a track day while we're down there. Are there any groups that run days at a track within an hour or so of Orlando that we can join for a day during that period? We *may* have access to a car, or may have to rent one, but either way it won't be a Porsche (hopefully Mercedes CK or Corvette Z06, though it may be a rental Cooper or something). I say this because our local PCA chapter only allows Porsches, but I know not all are the same (dad and I are both PCA members).

Any tips would be appreciated!

Thanks!
Chris

There is a nascar facility right next to disney... richard petty driving experience I thnk...

Correct ... the Petty driving experience is actually in the parking lot of the Magic Kingdom. We just visited WDW in November and I was surprised to see the track right there

Thanks guys, but Miami's too far and we have zero interest in Nascar ovals.

I checked the Sebring website, but they only link to a few groups/clubs, and I'm sure there's got to be something more going on during that week. There's a Skip Barber school, but it's $1600 which is insane. We're just looking for a DE or lapping day, within an hour or so of Orlando.

Awesome - thanks! I just sent them an email to see if there's anything happening in Feb. So far their events page only lists January. Fingers crossed! Track time in February would be soooo nice!

edit: BTW, have you driven it? No videos on youtube that I could find.

[URY914]

Nope, haven't driven it. I have spoken to the owner of it about another track deal they were working on a few months back.
