However, you make it sound as if it's just as easy to go to a track as it is to a movie or a restaurant. It's not cheap, they're not found on every street corner, they aren't open more than a few days a year, and the safety requirements are beyond what the factory supplied. With all that, I still try to go to the track as often as possible.

@ Dano: FYI, I don't know where you live, but one should make a distinction between NYC and the state of New York. It is quite common for anyone who doesn't (or never) live in or near NY State to say "New York" but only mean NYC. 
I live in western NYS, about 350 miles or so from NYC, in the woods on a dirt road, nearest town is 5 miles away, has one traffic light.
Rural NYS is quite conservative, nearly every house has at least one gun in it, crime is nearly non-existent, cops know --or know of -- nearly every citizen, and we are a world away from NYC in a cultural sense and most other senses (including language).

I've been to other states and i'm asked where I am from and was New York State or they see my license plate and they say but you don't have a "New York" accent. As in the typical "New York City" accent as heard in movies. The rest of the state doesn't have that accent.

I didn't buy a Vette to putt around town or to take it to places to show others my cool car or to park in my garage as a decoration. I bought it to go fast and travel the country and still use as a DD. I'm not a young kid or an irresponsible adult, so when I do go fast, it's in a relatively safe manner and location. I rarely go a week without seeing triple digits and I've lost track of the times the Vette has passed the 150 mark.

Bloomberg tried the whole we'll take your car nonsense a few years back but that was for DWI which is worse. The first guy who got his car taken sued and got it back, if I remember right. I doubt they would waste time peeing in the wind again unless you did something really stupid.

Being in law enforcement, it all depends on the circumstances, and DRIVER ATTITUDE. But there are some local cops here who would have fit into the 1945 german army very well with their attitudes about guys who love their cars!
