This is true, it is cheaper to rent during the week, but not by much. All event costs other than track rental are exactly the same so the savings doesn't end up being a whole lot.

TrackDaze wants weekends everywhere regardless of extra rental costs, but can't always get them just because of supply and demand, and from being one of the newer groups putting on events. It's not like VIR or Summit called and said "how many weekends ya want?" - if/when they are offered, they are usually accepted.

PS- NJMP on weekends costs more to rent than VIR-Full on weekends, so TrackDaze will certainly spend the extra money when necessary.
