any of these tracks i will get a minimum of 3 runs, many nights you can get 10+ at several of them. run once, pull right back in the lanes. wanna race someone specific, they will help get you together. wanna gamble on it, no authority figure will give a hoot.
compare that to going out street racing. drive 30 mins to the closest, good, active meeting spot. sit around for an hour + while people trash talk each other and argue about stips then go to another spot, 15 more minutes of driving, and after all that you don't always get a race and the hyped up race doesn't happen half the time.
and even if you do get a run in, you still don't actually have proof of how fast/slow your car is and people argue about who won and where the line is constantly.

Just had to quote you to be the exception to the rule here. I am an 1.5 from Atco, my closest track and when I went I only got 1 run in
