Typically the local drag strip will charge 10-20 bucks for the night (usually it runs from 6pm to 12pm but every track varies). Out here in Vegas it's 10 bucks to run or 5 bucks to watch. Back in California I used to go to LACR (it's now closed) and that was 15 bucks to run or 10 to watch. You get as many runs as you want or as time allows. On a busy night you may only get 2-5 runs, but on on a not so busy night you can get much more. I know I've done 18 runs in one night before when not busy and I could have done more but figured I was finished. Then there have been times when I only got 3 runs. Just depends on how busy it is the night you go. For the price you won't find a cheaper way to have fun with your car. It's best to try and go at first opening your first time as thats when it's usually the least busiest. That way you can get a couple runs it to work out the nerves and get a feel for how the track is prepped that night. Typically my first run is just to work out the adrenaline and nerves. My 2nd run is to get an idea of the prep. After that it's all about the launch and shifts. Also for you first time watch a couple cars go through so you see how to stage. Nothing worse than watching a newb try to stage for the first time.
