    looks like the donation stuff does get you credit towards track time in the future (test days and whatnot). Still $2 in, $1 out roughly but it's going to a good cause (some new place to race) so that's not a bad thing all in all

    Track Lovers and Motorsports Patrons - $1 in / $0.80 out - at the minimum level... that starts to really look like a pretty good deal.

    Are we sure 1 Track Buck = $1? What is stopping them from following an airline reward system where "X" amount of Track Bucks = $1?

    And then changing it as the wind blows... My AA miles aren't worth near as much today as in the past. Must be inflation.

    What's stopping them from changing it? Bad publicity and putting a bad taste in the mouth of club racers in general. Seeing what their roots are and the focus of the place (by club racers for club racers), I'd doubt they'd do anything too untoward in that direction. YMMV though.

    How long has it been since Barber opened and people still (now wrongfully) say watch out you'll get charged for sod?

    You're asking the wrong question. If you are concerned about the absolute value of the potential of exchange, then invest your dollar elsewhere. Inflation, deflation or stagflation of the "track buck" is divorced from the absolute currency value of the federal reserve note. Should the enterprise reprice the services in exchange for "money" then your track buck will have lost value relative to the currency but it is still a track buck.

    Tilton who?
