Let them spend their money.
It is just a trackday.

They just play with more expensive toys.

And my guess, if they go spinning into the grass out of turn whatever into a wall and obliterate their $125,000 car they probably don't have to think twice about replaceing it. It isn't gonna hurt their wallets one bit.

I'd like to go to watch some of those exotics get driven like they should be, instead of sitting in someones garage.

Ah, jealousy.

I think it's awesome. I'd join in a heartbeat if I lived close and could afford it...and they allowed motorcycles. 

There's another track like that somewhere in Illinois IIRC, has a private landing area and private garages to store whatever it is you want to ride around the track.

Someday I hope I could do something like that...who needs to belong to the local golf club?

They have one of these in Cresson, TX...close to where I used to live. It's a "motorsports country club". I wanted to do some laps, until I found out their yearly dues. 10,000 bones a year...plus you have to rent garage space. That was about 6 years ago though, I'm sure its more now

Not much different than VIR is nowadays really:

Then there's:

http://www.pnwmotorsportspark.com/

http://www.theringoftherockies.com/

http://www.springmountainmotorsports.com/

I'm sure there are quite a few more tracks that do this kind of thing.
