Is anyone sick of the process of autocross?

in CA I have done 5 25 min session road courses for $60, $100, etc. I would never pay $300 for a track entry unless it was like super lap

That's exactly our point...

You guys' logic of "screw auto-X only go to the track" doesn't work if you don't:


A: Live in Socal
B: Have thousands of dollars in disposable income to spend on entry fees.

A typical one day HPDE is over $200 here in TX. Two day events are around $300 to start and can be as high as $600-800 (COTA).

Have you seen the entry fee for Laguna Seca with Speed
Ventures? $340!

NCRC has some of the most rocking rates around. $99 a day at many tracks. Laguna and Sears are always more expensive as they are premier facilities. Buttonwillow and T Hill are usually dirt cheap but then you have to spend money and time to hual to those tracks if you live in SF Bay Area.
