Here is a quick Excel spread sheet. This is a rough cost of racing in Denver. The first Column is the One Way miles...Second column is the "Start Location"....third column is the cost for fuel at 10 MPG (round trip)....then the entry cost of $310.....thus the final cost just to get to Denver and race.....without your pit crew...... So, I live in the Phoenix area....it will cost me nearly a thousand dollars to go to Denver and race.....Plus the cost of my wife, racing fuel, breakage, maintenance, and entertainment.
So, For those that have unlimited budgets.....go have at it. As for me...It would take at Least a runner up finish to break even....... Maybe this will help explain why the shortage of Super Stock Racers.....
