While not a fan from a drivers perspective, it is a business model that realistically allows the track to be self funded for a good portion of the capital construction costs. New tracks that didn't use this model (e.g. NJMP) are having a much tougher time getting into the black (NJMP is in chapter 11).

Provided they give adequate access to regional clubs I don't really care if it is "owned" by the rich. Monticello is the only one I can think of that has completely closed themselves off from outside access this year (this may change next year due to financial stress).
