As far as charging people when they go off track and move couple road blocks around? .... that's just stupid regardless of track. I won't go to any track with these type of policy. It's not like we are not **** enough our car suffer damage then we get a thank you very much bill for somethig the track should expect to maintain as part of racing motorsport complex.

The other issue is getting a decent date. Nov-Mar are prime months - minimal conflicts with other events and good temps. The rest of the year not so much.

Yeah, we had great dates in March too. 
But the COTAholes nuked us in favor if a higher bidder.

COTA registration just opened up today for BMWCCA Club Racing event June 7-9...
Despite all the BS, I couldn't help but to sign up..
As far as damage: It isn't uncommon to be charged for Damage. Barber and other "Nicer" Facilities have been doing it for years. Here is the note regarding COTA about the damage policy when I registered..
NOTE NOTE NOTE: damages...this is in the contract we have with COTA, if we get charged for something you do we will charge you. Asphalt damage (anywhere- track, paddock, etc) is $500 PER SQUARE FOOT. Gaurd rails are $25 per foot. Tire barriers are $25/foot. Fencing is $15 per foot. Airfences are $1000 (not a typo- $1000) per square foot. DON"T DAMAGE THE TRACK. Treat this place as if it were your own. For those of of you that have been to Barber, treat COTA like you do Barber. Squares of plywood to put under jackstands would be a good idea. Spilling fluids in the paddock will require you to contact COTA staff. If you hit a wall, expect a bill from us. Don't hit the plastic barriers- the Armco is cheaper on your wallet. Just be careful and treat the facility with respect. We would like to be invited back again.

My favorite Mt bike trail at Mt Tamalpais just publish new rules as follow:
- if you hit a tree you will be fine $25 per tree bark or $100 per tree branch damaged
- if you move rocks on the trail more than 5 feet from their original location you will be fine $5 per pebble
- if you had to take an emergency **** you will be charged $50 per cc
- if you step on a bug you will be fine $2 per bug
- if you take more than one scenic picture you will be fine $50 per shot
- if you leave tire mark on the parking lot the park ranger will confiscate your bike and your girlfriend (if she is hawt)
I am very happy to use our awesome tracks in California that let us drive without worry about track maintenance issue that belong to the track and not the participant

Yeah, especially since they are predicting year 3 of our worst drought ever.

OK, I am starting to run out of analogy why these type of track damage rules is absolutely ridiculous but I will try ....
