Because the facilities cost millions and millions of dollars to create?

Although the cost is higher, in terms of dollars-per-mile (and more importantly "smiles-per-dollar") it's still a way bigger thrill than drag or autocross (IMHO of course!)

Times have changed since a group of 10 TSCC members got together and rented Summit Point for $400 I think for a weekend day. We split the costs and just played as we wanted to for the day. Times have changed.

Do the math... $15-$25 a night for the drags at about 13 sec. a run about 5 runs.

Or... 4 hours of track time fomr $300 - $500. Road racing is far cheaper.

Or if you're an instructor, 4 hours of track time for a bottle of anti-acid and asprin..
