I'm just saying, that's not a small amount of money and you could certainly enjoy several track days in a given year for less than that. Granted you won't get a BMW helmet or key chains and nobody will really pay attention to what you are doing as much as they do in the M school.

Well if I break down the cost, to me it seems reasonable:
$3055
- $300 (2 nights hotel)
- $200 (6 meals)
- $300 (helmet)
- $150 (clothing merchandise)
- $1500 (set of tires)
- $400 (2 days insurance)
- $160 (fuel)
- $720 (instructors assuming 0.3 instructors per student for 16 hours at $150 per hour)
= a loss of $675
And this isn't including track rental, vehicle rental or maintenance.
