Yes. We have about 5 months of winter here and am considering doing something like this so people can use year round. I'm thinking a daily fee for visitors, monthly for regulars, race fees, and car rentals. Due to the lack of huge space and the abililty to use real dirt the indoor one would be limited to electric with a max size 1/10 scale. The indoor one wouldn't be the best indoor track that ever existed but its better than waiting that many months to do something too.

You have to charge enough to pay for the facility and all the bills. This cost varies depending on your location.

$20 to race one class?

Do you guys get your race entry back for winning or getting top 3?

In this area it's $10 for racing during the week with 2 quals and a main and $12 on weekends with 3 quals and a single main. No discounts for multiple classes but 3rd place gets $4 credit, 2nd place gets $6 credit, and if you win your class you get $8 I think it is. It's something back toward your parts bill for the day, just can't be used to pay for the race itself.

There is a 3rd track that opened this year and they don't offer anything back for winning but one of the race nights is only $5 per class with the other 2 days being the standard $10.

I can only imagine the overhead for a track in Socal.
