I bet any org with the funding to do it will fill their registration list though.

F1 ran at LimeRock, Leguna Seca, Indy, and Watkins Glen, not including all the street course. they don't charge $55k for those tracks.

they might have cost $200mil if you calculate inflation from the time when they were built.

SCCA is saying they are going to be getting $750/car in registration fees for a Club Race event at COTA...so they need 220 cars to break even...who knows if that includes the EMS/CW/Insurance.

I know BMW-CCA has a club race down there in March too...lots of locals making the pilgrimage to participate.
