I got confused by the various options HERE. There is reference to 180, 8, 16 and unlimited driving days. Here is the answer. The 180 days are all of the projected days that Members will have available to them to schedule a visit to the Club and have access to drive on the Road Course. Each Membership Plan includes the number of days a Member holding that particular Plan has to visit the Club and drive. Associate Membership Plan = 8 Days. Signature Membership Plan = 16 Days. Charter Membership Plan = Unlimited Days. At Alpine there are no and will not be any "per day driving fees".
So, the 8-day plan is $10,000 buy-in and $187.50/day and the 16-day plan is $20,000 buy-in and $156.25/day. Assuming, of course, that one uses all one's days. Not sure how much in advance Members will know the course configuration for any particular day.
I think I'll plan to drive the Alpine course, if at all, with one of the car clubs. Unless there is wheel-to-wheel racing there I cannot see this program working for me. NJMP is a bit better because even if there are only a few members out on a member day one can treat it as a test day for a race, on either course. (I do wish NJMP at somepoint links the two courses as orginally planned!)
