Portland International Raceway is also a combo drag/ road course. Interestingly enough it also located on a city park and thus city owned. Even the garbage is collected by regular city sanitation workers. However they are even under pressure to close down.
Currently I believe the best method is to have the drag strip and the road course separate. Maintenance cost being one issue, but the ability to have events on the drag and the road course at the same time is another.
Its not only about money. Its about freedom, friends and family too.
