5. We have found that if a track day costs about $250 for the day, drivers typically get about 2 hours of track time. Assuming this is the case you are faced with, please give us a sense of how much you would be willing to pay for additional track time that day. Please mark the highest amount you would pay before deciding not to buy the track time.

6. What are some of the best ideas and features you have seen at a trackday?

What are some of the best ideas and features you have seen at a trackday?

7. Should people be allowed to pay for extra track time at a normal track day? We have seen that often the first run group of the day may have a chance to get an extra run. This would be more than other drivers at the day. Some track event "keep it fair" by not sending out the group even though the track is open. Instead they close up early to keep it fair. Should people be able to pay for this time?

Yes

8. On the track during a session we have noticed that if the track is crowded we are less happy. On the other hand, if the track is nearly empty we are happy but wonder if we are paying too much. Give us a sense for how many cars should be on the track at a time.

9. Another way to look at this crowding issue is by thinking about how much distance we like to have between us and the car in front of us. As cars start to crown around us we are less happy and as they spread out we are more happy. However, at some point we begin to wonder if we have paid too much. how much space do you prefer between you and the car in front of you? You can also think about it as how much space you want behind you, but please only give one distance and assume that the distance is applied to all cars (equally spread around the track).

	50yds	100yds	150yds	200yds	250yds	300yds or more

what other factors affect how many cars you are comfortable having on the track with you?

10. We have found that we are more happy when there are less people on the track to a point. We have also seen that a typical "run group" will have about 25 cars in the group. To some this is crowded and to others it does not seem crowded. If we were to reduce the number of cars in one run group to a certain level how much more (over the $250 price you already paid) would you be willing to pay to join that run group?
