sounds cheaper than $100 track day. Of course, I'm sure you'd get more time on the track for $100. You had better, anyway
I do plan on getting out to a real track next season, though.

I found that by going to www.scca.org
I know that some people from the far east (Poconos) have joined us in Central PA ( http://www.scca-cpr.org ) .. We race near State College.

Yeah, I think it takes you guys about 2 hours to get to here.. Not too bad at all Sadly, though, our season is over for the year 
I had a hope that this translates well for tuning next season, when it's boosted lot of fun with my 7 up there every event, and learned a lot about tuning my standalone.
Definately make it out next season, you won't regret it.

While the $/minute ratio is better on track, I've only seen 2 cars blow engines on an autocross run....I've seen 25-30 at track days...and I've been to 70 or 80 autocrosses and 6 track days...
Nevermind that you basically have to buy a new set of tires and brake pads every single track day, maybe every other track day if your smart with it.
In the end, autocross IS cheaper.
