This has been a challenge for us too. We approached VIR about putting on a race, and it was minimum of $6k per day. I believe Lime Rock Park has hosted crits, but my understanding is that it was easier and cheaper because there were limits on the number of auto race days allowed, due to noise. And the driveway series in Austin is basically a weekly series like this.
We've used some oval race tracks for races. They're like large flatter velodromes. They are fun races and cheap to put on.
