Virginia International Raceway. Basically you follow the pace car, no passing, 20 minute session for $20 to charity. I think they block off parts of the track so it may not be the full track, but its good enough from what everyone has said.
First time I had the car up past 120 was in the back stretch at VIR. Always a lot of fun, even behind the pace car. The trick is to get in with the Heart of Carolina guys and get up front, the guy that usually leads for them has a Boss and races lemons cars so he knows the track. The pace car will keep accelerating as long as there is someone filling up his rearview mirror.
Might have to dig into the savings account and buy a new set of tires early...
Wow. That really looks and sounds like fun. Could you do more than one 20 minute session if you wanted to?
Not quite necessary but if you plan on being aggressive you might want to switch over to dot4 brake fluid, or at least fresh dot3. None of us have reported issues but when I changed my calipers the fluid was nice and brown instead of clear like it should be. Wouldn't want to push the pedal to the floor and have to run off the road.

Thoughts from the more experienced?
It's not a bad idea. I would also flush it out after you get back too. Mine always seemed to have soft pedal after one of these fun days.
Also make sure you have lots of fuel. You're going to burn through some!
