hey oni.......i'm in MN, i feel you're pain
basically there are 2 tracks.......Brainered International Raceway, and there's a St. Cloud Safety Track thingy
BIR is big, 4 miles i think, with a 1/2 mile front straight and banked corners, the organization i'm a member of is having an event there the first weekend in sept i think (7-8th), i have some track experience and i wouldn't feel comfortable running there without significant brake upgrades
the track in st cloud is much smaller, 1.7 miles maybe, i think it was orignally built as a training track for cops and other city workers, some modifications have been made and various clubs now have track days there, i have friends who have gone and they have enjoyed it, not sure the dates of this years events, but i think they are held quite frequently, i garuntee i'll be there this year
other than those 2 tracks i drive out to Blackhawk Farms Raceway on the border of Illinois/Wisconson for track days 2 or three times a summer, although there are i think 5 held there a year
there are opportunities to get you're car on the track, but you kinda have to know the right people to find them
