Racing budget?

[gumbalaya]

Thanks for all of the great advice!

When you guys were starting out, did you race what you already had & drive to the track & then buy a tow rig?

I am definitely leaning towards a used Dodge/Mercedes Sprinter, (mainly for the Mercedes deisel motor, I'm 6'3" and I love the 78" stand up height in the back) so I can throw stuff in the back & not have to worry about thievery as much as with a pick-up, and an open trailer for the car.

My current daily driver is a Honda S2000, which isn't in the Guide of course. I would like to keep running it, but it's going to need money put into it, even for just driving on the street. Should I just get out of it now and get something that is more race-ready?

I bought a new Dodge Ram 3500 in 2012.
I retired in March 2012 and built a 54x40 metal building to house the operation. In May of 2012 I ordered a 50 foot goose neck trailer with living quarters. I find the most expensive thing is getting down the highway. The price of diesel fuel ,for me, is the hardest thing to pay for. I find that I do not have trouble with the entry fee. Being retired afords me with a lot of time to rece and work on my car. If you can aford to race you will have lots of fun and make friends along the way.
