Fees?
A track day fee is about $150 give or take, usually less.
Maintenance?
Only real costs are an extra oil change (which you should do anyways...who does 15k mi oil changes?!), a set of Brake pads once a year (mine are still at 90% even with 4 track days and 6k miles on them), and tires (mine have 4k mi on them, 3 track days, and still plenty of thread...then again they're street tires).
The expenses are more yes, but you're driving a 50-80k car.... are you really barely making the payments...? (I don't mean "you" as in
you, I mean in general)

Really?
Cause for me, I can wake up at 5am and be at Willow springs by 7:30 and have plenty of energy. The adrenaline is amazing.
I get more exhausted driving 30 miles to downtown LA then driving 100 miles up north lol...

Personally if I want to drive on a track, I'll do it in my 2 stroke shifter kart.

I have a convertible too....
I can't comment on the shifter karts though, as I've never driven one. I would LOVE to though! I've always heard they're plenty of fun
I'm not saying people are doing wrong by not tracking their cars... I just can't understand it so I'm hoping to maybe, by some slight chance, figure it out...
Thank you for your comments
