This is my fourth day on the track (5/23/2004), and my 3rd time at BeaveRun. This time a friend pointed me in the direction of SportBikeTrackTime.com. You can read about my other experiences: Beaver Run #1 Nelsons #1 Beaver Run #2
SportBikeTrackTime is Ohio based, but has 2 other frachises or the like in California and in the south. The cost was considerably cheaper this year than FastTrax. It was $145 for the track time and $25 for the required membership.

The "Track Experience" from SportBikeTrackTime (STT) was very similar to FastTrax "A" group. STT seemed less organized, and had 20 minute sessions as opposed to 30 minute sessions. I did email STT a week prior to the event and never received a response.
We had 7 20 minute sessions for a total of over 2 hours of track time. The format was simply 20 minute sessions where you drive around the track. There was no track walk or leapfrog, etc. Essentially the rules were safe passing only, 6 ft passing clearence, and no passing in corner #8 (the site of the incident last time I was there)

The day was rather uneventful for me, no real incidents. Several people went off track though. The ambulance went on the track once.

The facilities were good. The inside toilets were unusable. The concesson stand was opened, and the meal was included with the track time.
