[QUOTE="Lethalchem, post: 13627874, member: 8054"] Depends on several factors. If you end the track out during the week it's usually cheaper than on weekends. Also, if you have a group of people who are renting the track (like my recent event) if will generally be split up depending on how many people show up. The more cars, the cheaper the event. We only had 4 cars show up so we had the entire track to ourselves for the entire day. We could run as much as we wanted. I ran 4 sessions with about 15 min per session. Our event was $200. I enjoy both, but for me there was a natural progression. I enjoyed drag racing but quickly got tired of 11 seconds of fun and hours of standing around. I moved to auto crossing and loved it even more. I then got to enjoy 50+ seconds of driving fun at a time. As you can imagine, 20 minutes of driving at once is even better yet. I will admit though, autocrossing is much cheaper, safer, and easier on the car. I can't recall exactly but I'm winding out 3rd gear, so you can get a general idea since we know where 3rd tops out. I can remember seeing the needle sweeping somewhere in the 115-120mph range before I had to focus on the braking zone. It's actually a very short straight so hitting the 120mph range is commendable, especially since I was coming off the corner so softly. [/QUOTE]
