[DeTomaso] Fwd: Track Day Information

[Michael Shortt]

Something to share for all the folks that like track days


What goes into the cost of organizing an HPDE, track day or race event on a
road course? Many things, of course, but the largest fee is the track
surface itself. It requires many experts to prepare, lay and maintain the
specially formulated asphalt that resists high lateral G forces and
somebody has to pay for it. That person is the event organizer, and by
proxy, their participants. Today we're going to peek behind the curtain at
the cost of road course rentals around the world.

Unless otherwise noted, these fees are only for booking the asphalt and do
not include additional (typically, required) services like marshals,
ambulance, emergency and rescue, radios, etc. These services can typically
add another $3,000-10,000 per day to the cost of the facility.
