Having run with a few other groups, I think NASA is actually a relatively bad value (at least on the right coast). I did VIR full w/ CarGuys a couple of months ago and got 3 days @ 100 min/day for a discounted rate of $525. That means $1.75 (excluding costs) per minute to run VIR full!! Doing Summit next month for $1.85/min. I don't think there is any good way to factor tires, brakes, etc. into this equation b/c it is too driver and car dependant (even with several track days, I could have a set of R compounds and brakes last all year).

At a local autox, I'd be lucky to get four 50 second runs for $30 (>$8/min.)
