Just a basic cost to be competitive in Showdown
new car $130,000
Build a showdown engine $40,000
Showdown Trans and convertor $15000
Update cage to 7.50 spec $9000
full racepack $8000
second set wheel tires $3500
Lighten car add weight to back $500
different third member $2500
Proper shifter $1000
Suspension $10,000
in car communication $1500
Assorted other things needed $3000
Spare parts $$$$$$$
Total at least $225000 You can do it for a bit less but you will not qualify and may not even at that cost either. And constant work needed after each event. And add in a trailer and Motor home you can add $250,000-$400,000
It is not a class for the average sportsman.
