One more thing -- starting earlier. I don't know what Ocala's noise regulations are, but, at Primus, for example, we could not start running cars until 10AM. Most facilities have noise windows. Beaver Run in PA cannot have noise before 10AM on Sundays, and some tracks have to shut down before a certain PM on Sundays. It's very difficult.

As for "road courses," not many of them are suitable. Moroso is way too dangerous, and Sebring is fairly oddly shaped. Homestead is wonderful, but only that one small section is usable. To rent that facility for an event would mean entry fees as high as $300 or even $400 for a single day, if we were even able to pull 50 drivers. And that's assuming they would even let us do it. I was involved in some of the initial meetings that Homestead had with the Drift Showoff people, and the track manager was very adamant about the caretaking of the facility. I was surprised we were even allowed to be on their asphalt at all, based on the conversations that were had.

Now, if you guys would be willing to pay $500 for a day at Homestead, I'll start looking into it. But somehow I think that is out of most people's budgets, being that you'd have to not only travel from Tampa (gas) or wherever you are, but then you'd have to pay for lodging, tires, food, and other expenses. When I would do track days at VIR it would easily cost me $500+ for the whole weekend if not more, and you would be looking at $500 for your entry fee alone.
