San Jose, CA, in my opinion. Of course, I thought Texas has more road courses than any other state, but Texas is so big most will be more than hour away. But somehow I'm guessing you already know that.
San Jose area....Basically anywhere in the SF Bay Area... Pick SJ as your baseline... <90 minutes to Laguna Seca (Mazda Speedway), <90 minutes to Sears Point (Infineon) , and about 2.5 hrs to Thunder Hill...and 5 minutes to the industrial park backroads where the ricers go at 3:00 AM

Don't forget ButtonWillow is about 3 hrs south, and Reno-Farnley is not much further. So 5 tracks are within a reasonable driving distance. This doesn't meet caygirls 1 hour criteria, but these are all excellent tracks.
Marilynn,
You going to move? I suggest Fort Worth
MSR 30 mins
ECR 60 mins
TWS 3 hrs
Hallet 5 hrs
Barber 10 hrs

Where is the very best place to live if you wanted to be fairly close (say, within an hour) to a variety of great tracks???
All I can say here is I like your way of thinking! I'm lucky I'm about a 45 min drive from Watkins Glen but after that, it's at least a 4 hour drive to any other track.

If your in the Los Angeles area you have ButtonWillow, Willowsprings and the California Speedway 2 hours, 1 hour 15 mins and 50 minutes away respectfully. Laguna Seca and Spring Mountain are about 3-3 and a half hours away and Thunderhill is probably about the same.
Depends on what you consider "great" tracks. IMO, if you make your time/distance limit a little longer, either the Northeast or the SF Bay Area... the tracks I mention, I personally consider great tracks.
Northeast (NY, NJ, DC): if you make your time/distance limit more like 4-5 hours.
The Glen, Lime Rock, VIR, Summit Point... farther away - Mt. Tremblant, Road Atlanta
SF Bay Area: if you make your time/distance limit more like 2-4 hours.
Laguna Seca, Sears Point, Thunderhill, Buttonwillow... farther away - Willow Springs, CA Speedway, Spring Mountain (LV).
