I understand that it’s for charity, but $595 is a fair amount for a day. I was trying to see if this was 2 days, but the website was down ---

595 for one day… no, not even for charity. ---

$595 USD for ONE DAY?!?! WOW. And I bitched about that other guy advertising $325CDN for MoSport. That’s ABSURD. ---

It’s actually for two days. On this page: [http://www.hookedondriving.com/category.cfm?category=1](http://www.hookedondriving.com/category.cfm?category=1) It shows it is for Wednesday, April 29 2009 / Thursday, April 30 2009 I thought it was one day too, before Dave pointed that out to me. Poor informational design when everyone took it as being one day. ---

Doesnt matter, it’s still outrageously priced. ---

Most track days I run at big tracks (of the two wheeled variety) are $200/day. So you figure there is an extra $100 for charity and it doesn’t seem all that outrageous to me? Seems like it would keep the riff raff down too.
