I like this list a lot. However I would want to do each in a different car. The likely hood of any of those happening is zero though 
Dakar. I know it's a long shot but since I read about it as a kid I've wanted to run a heavy truck. I'd rather have done the month long race across Africa but the modern one does looks a bit more survivable. To show I'm not completely delusional I know a Kamaz is out of the question and would be perfectly happy lumbering along in a second hand Hino dragging stragglers across the finish line.
AlCan 5000: This would almost be feasible if I could take a chunk of the winter off from work and cold weather didn't pretty much cripple The Wife. Still may consider strapping a few spare tires to the top of the Fiat and giving it a shot.
24 Hours of LeMans. I could probably only do this as a spectator unless they started running bigger cars.
Mexican 1000: At the top of the almost feasible bad idea list is running a 1000 mile desert race in a dune buggy of Craigslist. We're all going to die from something and this sounds like as good a way as any.
Dirt Week: I really would have liked to do this before Syracuse closed but there should be just as much money and competition at the new track. If things work out I may go as a crew member.
This list has been taped to my computer for years:
One Lap of America. Done, 2003
Silver State Classic. Done, 2004
Earn Road Race license and compete. Done, 2008/2009
Baja 1000. Will never happen, but maybe a smaller event in the Southwest.
Pikes Peak. Won't be able to race, but can at least drive the road some day.
Targa Newfoundlad. Won't happen, too expensive.
A stage rally
AlCan 5000. Sounds like an awesome adventure, but I hate the cold. Maybe the Dempster and some other roads during the summer.
Didn't realize the Challenge would make the list, but glad I added it and did it! 2013/2014
It's changing.
Until recently it was:
Targa Newfoundland
One Lap
Race anything again (probably historic)
Alcan
Ohio Mile
These days I'm leaning towards
Learn to fly
Ohio mile is still on the list though
I mean, I don't have the time or money for motorsport so I may as well have less time and even less money to not be able to fly.
World Time Attack Challenge
Ultimate Track Car Challenge
Speedweek
Silver State Challenge
Targa New Foundland

If you need a co-driver, you know where to find me. I'm good with a shovel, do well without sleep, and have also been dreaming of Dakar since the 80's. I always put it up there with being an astraunaut, but if you're going, save me a seat.
Not mentioned yet:
King of the Hammers. This is a TRUE builders race that anyone can win. One day I want to build a buggy and race just to see if it can finish.
Gotta build something to do all the Hammer trails AND race between them at 100-120mph on the lakebed...
