I wanted to look into this last year,but never got too serious about it.
VIR,I'm assuming due to the bad economy and lack of events in the winter time,is doing one day private track rental deals.They allow up to six cars at a time on track,and safety crews are included.Price for full course is $4200,but that includes lodging and meals.If there is enough interest to look further into it,I'll get a price minus the hotel rooms and meals to possibly get a better rate.The Sleep Inn is 10 minutes away(or drive down the morning of and not have to pay for a hotel)at $79 a night,and I can bring a grille and everybody bring their own food for lunch.
I'd like to say that this would be primarily for people with previous track(or at minimum autocross experience)experience,as there won't be any instruction or corner workers,and this isn't the kind of place to just set somebody free who has no prior experience.I'd be willing to do some ride-alongs if we can get at least a couple other people too so that we could possibly include some newbs.At the same time,this is an opportunity to hang out with friends and enjoy the track,so I'm sure not many people want to spend most of their off-track time instructing for free
As I said above,they only allow six cars at a time on track,and I think that having a max of 12 cars would be perfect,as we could have two run groups,and it would keep the price reasonable at around $350 a person.I know that's more than an average track day costs,but keep in mind you usually get at most two hours track time per day,and here you'll have at minimum 3.5 hours of track time,and probably much more.Not to mention you'll never do a trackday with only a max of five other cars on track,and the ability to basically go out whenever you want.I'm willing to pay up to $500 a person with a smaller group,but that'd be my cutoff as far as price.
This would be something where we'd have to set a deadline for interested people so we could get a pretty solid per-person price,then a deadline to pay.Basically,you'd have to pay upfront,as I'm not willing to front the cost of the track only to have people back out and never pay me back.If there are any spots left and somebody wanted to buy in after that point,everybody would get the difference in money back as the per-person price goes down. After the payments are secured,we'd have to vote on the available dates as far as which one we want,and then I'd make the reservation.
