Anyone who wants more street legal track days to occur can do the following: Go find someone, or some business, to sponsor the event. Then tell them the daily track rental fee is in the neighborhood of $3600. As they walk away laughing, you may start to think about how nice it is to have the few street legal events that we do have.
Oh yeah, BTW, thanks Tintmasters for paying for us to use the track.

but 30 a pop for 6 hours is on the outrageous side. and that has changed my mind about running tomorrow.
a thought they should think about is
instead of 4ish times a year at 30 a pop, they could put some thought into maybe 8 times a year at 15 a pop.you're looking at that all wrong. Yes you'd come up with the same amount of income assuming everyone raced every event, but you're paying out twice as much.
Like Ethan said, $3600/day (or whatever the timeframe is) to rent the track. That means pulling 120 cars just to break even (and I'm betting each event doesn't pull a hell of a lot more than 120 cars.) Drop entry price to $15, you'll have to pull in 240 cars. There just aren't that many racers in the area I don't think (street legal cars).
Head down south if you want cheap races... Only way it's gonna happen.

If the track was smart they'd put these on without sponsors more frequently. It was rather busy today.

Id pay what ever to race , cause its priceless beating V-8s at the track... we dont want 240 cars to show up either , we would never get to race....

It was rather busy today.exactly what i was thinking. or, better yet, plan the event to happen, and charge anyone that wants to get their name involved. this is exactly the idea that i've been bringing up for quite a while, management at the track obviously doesn't like money

If it was a good full day event, well prepped track, and a chance to make 7-10 passes, I would pay $55+ for sure. If it had to be more, but it was going to be a fantastic test and tune day it wouldn't be a problem.
