The state of the art one is about $250 for a track day unless you're on the skid pad with the autocross guys. The other one is about $80 for the day and the track is in such bad condition your tires look like they went through a cheese grater by the time you're done with a session.
So you either spend the higher price on the nice track or spend the lower cost and make up for it by having to replace your tires more often.
I've got nothing against PD's renting out tracks or drag strips to have people come out. That sounds like an awesome idea to keep racing off the streets and build a community relationship, but the likelihood of that happening is pretty low in most areas.
Regardless, free track days aren't all that likely to happen. Please don't take that as me being against them because I do think it's a great idea. I just don't see it as being very likely.

I'm by no means against you or anyone if the idea of free track days seems unfeasible.
Even if free track days did exist, street racing would still exist as well.
There is no real solution to the current problem at hand.
And the whole question on what life was worth was just me being a politician. Vote dem00n for moderator, 2015? Nah.
