PCA events in Rennsport Region at Mont Tremblant or Calabogie cost about $500 for three days. Each day is 4 x 20 min sessions. Beer at 5 PM is supplied by Rennsport or one of its sponsors as is water throughout the day.

Best,

No look at it as savings. You can pick and choose the most economical events. This is not a cheap sport so why fight it.

If you are retired and pester your family all the time, then they start asking you about once a month "Isn't it time for you to go to the track again?"

Pacific Raceways with Proformance $265
30 minute sessions
5-6 sessions per day

I think the local PCA days are around $200...

(no tires, food, etc... )

Some tracks in France are free on weekends.
It's sponsored by the government and automobile/motorcycle associations to lower the amount of accidents of people racing on open roads. It works...

Per autox day, assuming 10 days of 8 runs for the A6s, if I am lucky. Bottled water, Gatorade, and ice add about another $10.00.
Nailed. Just that autocrossing on the west side cost around $80.

It ranges from $350-$550 for several days, plus classroom instruction (most of mine are HPDE's)

We just make it a family affair. My wife drives also and my son comes and plays with the other kids. Everyone is happy although the costs are double, but I still think it is cheaper than my wife at Begdorf's for the afternoon.
