It is $265 per day if you bring your own car but if we get 5 people, the cost will be $238.xx and 10 people would be $225.xx. If two people want to share the same car, it is only $100 more for the second person to drive also. We might go 2 days (Sat-Sun) but are planning on going to at least 1. I am guessing 1 day would be enough for most if anyone is interested.

They do have spec racers people can drive but the price is much higher ($295 for a 25 minute session).

The price isn't that bad if you consider what you get. The morning starts with a quick tour of the course and about 1hr of time learning about safety and driving. After that, you get assigned an instructor and he rides with you for a little while showing you the correct way to take turns. After he rides with you for a little bit, you are on your own. Friends are allowed to ride along which can be fun/scary depending on who is driving and the instructors are available to ride along all day if wanted. When we went, actual track time was roughty 10:30am-5:30pm with a break for lunch (also included in the price).

BTW, it wasn't stated above, but this event is on the short course (2.5 mile). Still plenty of room to take the 1st turn around 120mph though.
