I've talked about this before, It not totally over priced but its at a spot that makes it difficult for many to go or forces many to deprive them self of so much so they can go use a skid pad... I just hope Jeff can get our local event going, Tho I know he has alot going on right now so no way am I gonna push him to get it done...
No way is any of the coming comments endorsed by the209forums in any or part!
I have been forced to not use track events ever sence the bullshit politics crap they pull on the Altamont race track, so I have other means of practice that is free to me. This is the first time and only time I mention that....
End disclaimer!

its overpriced when you calculate gas and time spent. if i were to go to a track, i want full blown track time. no pantsy skid pad drifting.
its no problem for me to fork over 200-300 for a full track day and book a hotel room. a proper track day imo should include a hotel room for a full night's rest. a decent breakfast, and morning exercise. i'd be scared shitless to be on an open track with guys who drove the 3 hours up to T-hill and get there at gate opening at 7 am.

it just boils down to how much you want to do it, that's all.
Personally,i thought it was a fair price, NOT overpriced. it was 100 bucks to run almost 3/4 of a day. Tha's not to bad considering you only have to wait about 10mins (if that long) between each run. You don't have to work ( like autox), plus only like 5-10 cars in ur group. It's more laid back. True, that it'snto a competition, but what the heck, ti's TRACK TIME and a chance to get hyphy legally.
Then there's also the consideration of experience. For the noobs, it's a good chance to track your car and drive it to see what it can do in a safe and legit environment. Plus, just coz still a noob, u need as much track time as u can get!
For the non-noobs, such as Bobby and Dan, it's understandable that it's not worth it because you alreayd know how to do this n that, and would rather spend a few more for the track. and that's understandable, coz the skid pad isn'ta competition, just a practice session.
so yeah, the cost shoudlnt' be a factor coz well, playing with cars was never cheap inthe first place.
The only BAD thing is that Thunderhill is like a billion miles away. That's about it.

it's worth it when you want track time and play. im a noob, so yeah, it's def worth it for me to mess around and not hit anything. hopefully, if my car can be driven by then, ill see you at the next one azndrifter2oh9takumiguy guy. j/p

I cant say that I'm a pro cause I can still use practice as you will always need to do, but I did drift with the NCDA for a couple of seasons in a stock 1984 Toyota Corolla SR5 Hatch and came in the top 16 multiple times...
