NCC BMW sounds like a pretty good option from cost perspective. Just heard back from Dominion and it might work. I happen to be at Dominion right now looking at the pavement and there seems to be a section one could setup a circle avoiding the depressions.

The spot, insurance, and water looks like it would be around $2k for a day. With enough people it could work out...

100 folk (unlikely) $200 apiece max 8 hours split between the supposed 100 drivers just under 5 minutes a person if only one at a time BMW sounds a lot better!!

No Scotch yet, but a beer or two! but still looking at 5 or so minutes per or 10 if two at a time. I believe they were talking about using sand on the skid pad or was that Pitt Race.

20 people at $100 would be reasonable to me. I didn't try to replicate the Scots more difficult math to get to a minutes per person calc.
