VIR has their own open practice days but you need to be a VIR Club member. They're running 'em all weekend this weekend, in fact... for their members only, which is $$$. NASA runs 'em too... VIR-Full next Fri 2/23 for example... but you'll still need one or more of the qualifications listed above to be able to register.
100-200 bucks a day is cheap IMHO. As for nobody showing up, it's just the opposite... hundreds of cars at a time actually... they're very popular.
I've never heard of a road course being "open on weekends" for "free runs" and I've been around this stuff for nearly a decade now. Where do they do such a thing? I only ask because I want to move there.
Confused (and no offense intended),

I used to pay around 120 in Huntsville which i thought was okay. Maybe i'm cheap but its always in the neighborhood of 120-180 from AL-FL.
Damn 100-200 cars do they hold you in staging forever? Okay its semantics open weekends means "open practice days at VIR" to me. That the terminology i am used to. Its kind of weird cause they will call open weekends at the track during the week. Anyway thanks for the info.
I'll be out there the next open session.
EDIT: I see what your pointing to now. Its not free my terminology is confusing you. Just means the track is open to people needing test runs ect. For a fee. The track i went to was money hungry or something cause every time they didn't have an event they had an open session 120 for the day. 150 mid year for some reason? Anyway, thanks again.
