I'd love to have a test track down the road from me, where I could put in a test session whenever it was convenient, without having to rent the entire facility and/or pay large fees. 
But I don't. I don't think too many people here do. When people do get track time, I'm sure they'd rather be driving than fiddling with sensors, laptops, dremel tools, etc. So until my budget is comparable to McLaren or Ferrari's, I'm going to test close to home, on the street, doing the best I can to get accurate, meaningful, and useful results without creating any dangerous conditions.
