stalin-heart I need to try one of these days but after running through the costs I realized it was $3,500 that I didn't have

Yeah it's pretty damn expensive, like at least $500 per person per weekend if you're doing an arrive-and-drive, and already have the fire suit and helmet. If you have a sporty car already, it would be cheaper and easier to do a track day or autocross. Or a "run what you brung" night at a drag strip.
