In thinking more about this - especially after ready peoples responses to the original post - it's probably less of an issue with clubs than it is organizations that sponsor track days. The club atmosphere is always a bit different. It's why I still instruct for Audi - I know the people and for the most part even the newcomers are more readily going to adopt to the club ethos and if they are not - you generally don't see them at the next event.
That being said - when we hold our yearly event at Sears Point - we can get upwards of 170 cars - including students and instructors. It's always a challenge to put an instructor in every right seat.
