Well, a lot of negative stuff here...
But anyway, I pay my $40 and I stand out there and prop up cones, but I also do 10-15 runs, and the club I run with doesn't set up stupid 40-45 second courses... they're 90+ second courses, so it's usually 15-20 minutes total seat time for $40 bucks and I'm rarely there all day.
HPDEs are expensive and (call me a pussy) the insurance for each one adds up fast as well. I refuse to put the car on the track without an AVIP (Agreed Value Insurance Policy) for the event.
Autocrosses, worst i'm gonna do is fck up a bumper with a nasty cone hit or break something mechanically... that, I can deal with. Kissing a wall or getting into a roll-over without a policy to replace the car... I can't.
Just to clarify, I LOVE LOVE LOVE HPDE's, but they aren't something I can justify doing 1-2 times a month or on a whim like an Autocross event. That's all I am saying.
