Don't need to be a power ranger to enjoy flying accross the mountain road (no speed limit) and enjoy the stunning views as you do.
Watching the bikes go past at 180+mph whilst your just over a metre away is something else 
Someone mentioned Treffin, don't talk to me about Treffin 
RIDE the TT/Manx circuit
DRIVE the ring
Just go around Spa
"The Mountain" in Aussie 
Philip Island, god that looks so much fun.
LeMans 24hr
Nascar Race, just to see it. Watched Indycars live, and it was SO much better than TV. Earplugs needed
Monza!!!

Four of the main ones for me would have been to have seen Grp B cars in action and very much in anger.
Also some 1960's and 70's production saloon car racing along with a proper BTCC race with RS500s and M3s and to have seen a proper racing driver win the British Grand Prix at Brands Hatch in a proper Formula 1 car again.
Too late for all that now. 
Others that I can think of are -
Take part on track at Brands.
Visit Germany for the Autobahns.
See the 24hr race at Le Man
Watch some V8 madness at Bathurst
Go to Pikes Peak for the hill climb.
See some of the RAC rally in the forests in Wales along with at least one special stage.
See some proper yank drag racing and monster truck sillines in the states.
Visit the salt flats at Bonneville.
Crack 200 mph in my own car.

Oh, still need to do Goodwood revival.
Stelvio Pass would be nice too.
Ari Vatanen rally school in Finland for a birthday bash is a must.
I'd really like to go to the 'ring but am rather apprehensive about the whole concept.
Plus I REALLY need to build a lovely MK II Escort.
