I can't say for sure due to our events at trails are only drag racing events. And for drag racing only the rate was over double last years price, almost triple. :no: Plus they originally told me no side by side racing etc for our event. After weeks of talking they agreed to allow side by side racing and could only offer us a few hundred off the price originally quoted. While I am sure the die hard drag racers would have no problem dropping $120-$150+ for a private rental... younger people and the people that only make it to the track a couple times per year would be discouraged from trying or from going altogether.
I understand where they are coming from, as far as wanting to make the track nicer. But a lot of groups like ours are forced to look elsewhere as the prices are too high. I recently spoke with another group that does a whole weekend rental at NTR and they have moved their event to Dragway 42 due to the price increases as well.
We have rented out Kilkare before and would have continued to do so if the people who used to run the track would have continued to return phone calls. Now with a CR member running it that's not a problem. He is giving us a fair price for a SUNDAY rental so that most people won't have to take off work. And he is giving us the bonus of being able to run our first autocross!
