Yes there is. Check out Track Night in America by SCCA. Besides their events starting in the afternoon (around 2-3 PM) rather than ass crack of f***n dawn early, it's also only $150 and you pick your run group. Intermediate and Advanced have no instructors. Even in Novice group there isn't a "pace car" but they tend to limit speeds to triple digits.
I'll be at NJMP on 5/10 in the Advanced group. Would love to see some more M's in attendance!
