So it has occurred to me that I could make some money off of my car while I'm not driving it. I'd like to explore the possibility of renting it out to experienced drivers for track days, but I don't have much experience with them, aside from doing some instructing a few years ago. Would anybody here theoretically be interested in renting it for a day? Can someone point me in the right direction to get it started? Or am I just inviting wannabe-Mario Andrettis to kill themselves? Are there rules against race cars on HPDEs?

Check with the track in question and they can tell you.

Don't do it Charlie! Once someone gets their stank in your race car you'll never get it out. Never.

Have a lawyer draft the rental agreement! You need waivers, indemnification, disclaimers of warranties, etc, etc. Protect yourself!

I'd definitely be interested if the price is right.

I know some people at Lime Rock if you need a contact.

I own the car under an LLC but I'd definitely have waivers and such.

Having money to drive a stanky car is better than having no money to not drive a non stanky car!

That'd be great! I'm also looking for HPDE instructing jobs around the NYC-ish area, do you know anyone who could help with that?

Point taken. Sometimes you just gotta pimp...
