$50 for a suit for eight or so sessions is still pricey. Especially on top of the track day itself. Our track days out here are closer to $200. That, plus track prep stuff (gas, tires, maybe a trailer rental, food, etc...) and 50 more dollars is a turn-off. $30-$35 is better. I could rent a car for a day for less than $50.

Could you rent a race car for less than $50?

If you think $50 is expensive, check out some other prices.

Ours are $75/day.

Ya, guess I shoulda compared first. I'm just thinking as if I'm in need of some leathers to rent and all the other costs a track day consists of.

I hear ya.

I think with the package he is talking about putting together, they may be able to get someone to the track with leathers for cheaper than that person could do it by themselves.

Less hassle too!

AWESOME deal OTB!! Do you pick up from ND??

TD's around here are $185 just for the day, no instructor time. So by the time you figure trans to and from the track, you are at equal money, if not saving.

I would have to make room in my budget to go at least once a month. That is a stupendous deal. But let me ask you one question is this limiter to one time only or would riders get to do it multiple times? Now im wishing i lived closer lol.
