For me to go to Indy from Tampa Fl would cost me about $2000 not figuring for food or hotels. I have a toterhome and stay at the track. You cant really figure food because you would be eating at home anyway. 1200 mile tow. @.50/mile $200 generator fuel, $450 for entry,$150 for race gas. That would be the bare minimum. 2 weeks away from work if you do the Bowling Green points race. I have vacation time to offset that. so you can see if you don't win the whole thing you cant break even. I have made the trip 2 times so far but I am not fast enough to make the field. Maybe this year I could have with the amount of alternates that they had in the final field after tech and racers that dropped out.
