Having done 60+ track days and 40+ race weekends over the past 3 years, i would say drive to the hotel near the track the NIGHT BEFORE, and try to ride with someone or have someone that lives in your area have 2 people that went to the track. If you live 10min away this obviously is a mute point but driving for hours the morning of the track day SUCKS ASS. I have done it occasionaly. Even if one of my buddies drove it sucks. You pack up. Try to get a little sleep, but you cant cause your wound up.. THen drive up at 3am.. (JenningsGP is a 3 hour drive for us here in Tampa).. By mid day you feel like shit. Split a cheap hotel with someone or even get a good air mattress and split it 3 ways..
You DO have a slim possiblity of getting your bell rung and it is a good idea to have someone who could drive home for you.
