If we think that we are each getting through the end of the race for $ 400-500 we should really start taking a closer look at this.
Just a quick rundown:
Car-$500
tires-$400-500 without any extras
Entry-$500
Getting to/from track with car-$200-300
fuel for the race- $600+ (the way I see it probably 150-200 gallons at $4.00+/gal)
That's $2400 six ways for $400, not counting getting the car caged, brakes, suspension, extras for the car, race seat, harness, or fire extinguisher.
So each person is realistically going to be looking at probably $400-700 depending on how many spare parts we want to have, and that is BEFORE personal safety equipment.
Just food for thought, and something that we should all know going in.
