Colleges with accesible Road Racing

personally im looking into the SC area as its in the middle of the SE tracks and the moutains are close by.  The houses are also reasonably priced.

And omaha steaks cheaper in johnsonville?   ;D

No, actually no person in Omaha buys "Omaha Steaks"...LOL!  Those are the scraps that get sold to the people that like to say that they get the best midwest beef...LOL!

And there isn't a Johnsonville, that I know of.  But the Johnsonville factory is probably ten minutes from Road America...which has Johnsonville brats...it is a good reason to race at Road America.

I know you said you didn't want to be in FL, but Gainesville would be a KILLER place to go.  12 months a year of all the CCS FL venues, a lot of motocross, and kart tracks, close to Jax, Orlando, and Tampa.  July and August are hot, but you can meet race all December and January-long.

Well it get's a little Cold in the Winter, but Winona State, was in the top 10 university for cost vs education level (And has a great composite engineering program  ).
Winona is also a very cheap place to live!

All the the best twisties in the state of MN are withing 1 hour and most within 15 minutes.

Tracks You say:

Road racing:
Road America = 4 hrs
Blackhawk = 4 hrs
Mid America = 7 hrs
Brainard = 5 hrs

Motocross:
About a half dozen within 2 hours and the biggie = Millville is 45 minutes away

platteville, wisconsin.
they have an awesome engineering program too

[Redflagger]

There certainly is a Johnsonville.  The factory is probably a lot larger than the village now.  I haven't seen it for several years because I moved away from the area.  Everywhere I go I look for three things, racetracks, Johnsonville Brats, and Leininkugels.

Go to Clemson in SC. They have a very good mechanical engineering program and also one of the best automotive engineering grad programs in the country. They also have a motorsports program.

I went to the Univ of Pitt for Mechanical Engineering. Wish I went to school at Clemson though.

If you like nuts and bolts its good to go to school for Engineering or Physics. The engineering schools are more practical though. Material Science Engineering will land you a higher paying job than Mechanical engineering. Electrical engineering is also a decent program but not very mechanical just as the name implies. Good luck and make sure you do well in physics and math!
