It wil be an insurance nightmare for open track days...I will have full access and will possibly get to help run the track/manage/run private events and I can assure you weekend track days will not be in its future.
Host a weekend "cheap" track day in with several I.A members attening with no experience and watch what happens. See what an insurance company thinks of that. No real track is going to allow inexperienced drivers on the surface without thousands of dollars, professional instruction in the car with them, or a "drivers education" program style track day that insurance companies will believe and most likely not all/ Little Talladega is as cheap as they come because its not a real track...
The closest resource to accomplishing this goal would be finding a parking lot and buying alot of cones. For example, when I was affilication with Xtreme measures we ran a weekend in the parking lots at A.M.S. We instructed inbetween 40-70 students and when the students had off time (morning/lunch/afternoon) we were allowed open track..open rules..unlimited autocross..you name it..it was heaven. We would line up 10 cars infront of local police officers and drag them 0-100 and get thumbs up from them. we'd throw 10 cars on a 3 minute autox at a time...it wasn't reality. To give you an idea...every driver was an instructor or with an instructor...the parking lot rental was 25,000 and each weekend took hellacious amounts of planning and the good reputation and strict driver requirements allowed us to have this fun. Good luck
