Yeah I won't complain anymore about the $6XX I paid to race there last year now... yikes.
It's a freakin' sweet track, fun layout nice place and such... but $1k screw that.

While you think the P is in disequilibrium due to the S it maybe at equilibrium and if TWS closes the P might go up.
I'll be looking for the next CPI to exclude Track Weekend fees along with anything else that shows there is inflation.

If NASA ran here I would think the entry fee would be in the $600 range due to the higher number of participants which is more reasonable considering the track rental cost. These open track days don't have as many people which is why it's so expensive.

If you do the simple math...
4 run groups of 35 cars = 140 cars
$970 per car * 140 cars = $135,800
If NASA brought 400 cars (which would be easy to do with the appeal of COTA)
$135,800/400 = $339 per entrant
This is assuming the NASA rental would utilize all the same type of infrastructure as this event and that the operating margins of both groups are the same... Seems to be quasi-feasible...

Always more than simple math, and I will continue to argue that a purpose built F1 track on the current F1 schedule will have more allure and value than any other track in the country.
Ken and I have discussed online why COTA is so arrogant and expensive. He argues that there are plenty of other tracks with F1 history, that there are plenty of other tracks that are at the COTA level of condition and facilities.
My position still stands: purpose built and on the current schedule
Just curious, is the track that good or is the F1 connection really why you want to drive it?

The track and facilities are just that good and like no other here in Texas or within a thousand miles.
IN, where do I pay? Take my money already!!
