yeah its bad news all around for track and autocross. Many auto insurance carriers have been sending out 'clarifications' that any track or competitive (which would include Autox) driving events are not covered. Which of course the track day insurance people have seized upon to jack up day rates drastically.

And the autocross fees in this economy can certainly add up. While this is still far and away the most cost effective way to learn the fundamentals of car-tossing, $50 fees might be tough to swallow when that's what it costs to fill your tank for the week. And it is indeed a long day for less than 10 runs. Although I think that compels you to be a more focused driver and teaches you to adjust quickly.
