Sonoma Raceway. I choose Sonoma because it has always been special to me.  It’s everything I love about road course racing.  Big elevation changes that follow the natural topography, camber changes galore, and virtually zero straight aways.  If you turn a good lap at Sonoma you know you’ve earned it because nothing comes easy there.   So when that final day of petrol power comes that's where you’ll find me lofting the inside front tire exiting turn 3a and lighting off power slides down the hill out of turn 6 until the engine finally sputters and stalls for the last time. Where would you spend your last tank of fuel? ![](https://www.opentrack.com/hubfs/OpenTrack_June2020%20Theme/Images/Video/color-bar2.png) ##### ABOUT THE AUTHOR ![Andy Lee](https://www.opentrack.com/hubfs/208_Open_TracK_120220-1.jpg) #### Andy Lee Andy has extensive experience as a professional driver coach & driver with over 100 professional race starts under his belt.
