I'm in. I don't know how they set that sort of thing up, but it's definitely possible. The DelVal BMW CCA has been doing nights with 2 hour track rental (7pm to 9pm) and a reserved room (and pizza!). We've done it twice, with 32 people each time - 4 run groups of 8, with a minimum of 4 sessions for everyone. After the initial session the run groups were sorted by fastest times. It worked really well because you don't have to worry about traffic that way. I got 5 sessions in last time.

My impression is that you need quite a few people to make that arrangement tenable, but I really have no clue what it costs to put it together. They charged us $70 to attend (through motorsportsreg.com), but I don't know how much of that is for fees, food and/or profit.

If we're going to have 8-16 people, it's probably easier just to show up and have 2 run groups without a track reservation.
