    Because HPDEs (lapping days, SOLO I, whatever you want to call it) take a whole weekend and cost an order of magnitude more. I'm trying to find something that won't take up a whole saturday so a decently big group of college students can find the time to go together. Autocross is a good way to shake down cars too, you don't have the overheating issues with brakes, tires, and engines that you get on a real track. Open lapping is HARD on a car...autocross? Not so much.

    The biggest problem with Auto-x is the lot cost. It becomes a circle where you need a lot of people to offset the lot and insurance costs. This causes it to take an afternoon with few runs.
