Steve, Don't get me wrong I'd love to try it but to run NSS we spend about $300 to get to a race and race for $1500. Road racing, unless you are a professional, is more like $1500 to run the car for the weekend and $300 to win if you're lucky. And you tear more equipment up. That said there is a new road course being built in VA about 90 min from me. It is being built alongside a drag strip and oval to help pay the bills for it all, I'm sure. Go to any MD dragstrip on a Friday night and you won't know any of the names of the people running T&T or street type classes. This is a good thing, it means new people are going to the track. I think the oval/road course deal does help get zoning approved, because they are both typically higher-rent (as far as the money brought in by racers and for the oval, fans), but there will always be more dedicated drag cars than dedicated "track day" cars.
