Car and racing culture is extremely prevalent in CT. Maybe only 2nd to the greater LA area. You're speaking from a perspective that lacks experience.

We're the 3rd smallest state in the country and have 2 road courses, one being very highly decorated and historical. We live in the oldest, most developed and dense part of the country. High real estate costs, lack of availability, high taxes and even still, higher insurance premiums make it near impossible for the development of a new track.

If you think $300 for entry is a lot, the upkeep of the vehicle and safety equipment in order to participate will be staggering to you.

Money conscious and any kind of racing do not belong in the same sentence. AutoX with CART, or Fairfield SCCA are good for the entry level. Track Nite in America can get you in to whet your appetite. Otherwise, start saving.

Also, they're called road courses - not "GP style". GP implies that Formula 1 has run the track.

All about line of sight. More hills, more problems. Height and pointed direction will have a lot of influence over what you get. Digital is digital - basically, it will either "come in" or it won't. No fuzzies like back in the day.
