Trying to edit the rest, but here are a few laps of my car around MSR Houston from last weekend.

Wow, so much run off!
Green - Try having no run-off and a barrier 2ft from the track
like so:
At least the concrete barrier is on the straight!
JC - The video is cool, I downloaded the full 720p version, track is short but looks very fast, and this is good because I prefer faster, shorter configurations. (Compared to twistier/longer)
Green/JC - How ,much does a days session there cost?

I've got close to two hours, but need to wait until I have my desktop to edit them. For some reason the quality sucks when I upload from my laptop.
So far I'm keeping with the promise to myself that I would get in at least one track day for every two weeks off. Looks like I'm going to need another set of tires soon.
But the sound of running four feet from the barrier is amazing.
It depends, I went with a member so it was about $250, but that was for 10am-5pm open track.
Thanks, I want to say that I ran in the low 1:50s all day. I didn't have a timer or traqmate, but can gauge a consistent lap time from the vids. It was my first time to MSR in almost five years and the first time in my M3.
That turn is fairly greasy on a hot day, so I was having a little fun and inducing oversteer every couple of laps.

I would say you've got a little room to go deeper into the diamonds edge and i'd push harder going over the launch. The car will take a set better from the far right side of the track going into the keyhole. It makes no sense thinking about that logically but it does actually work. I've only got a 1000+ laps under my belt at MSR so I may be wrong

OMG $250!
I currently pay roughly $1000 to even attend my favorite track, and then its $40 PER LAP!
Even Silverstone/Donington etc is $100 in gas to get there and about $400 per session.
I am a happy Dave right now!!
