Average cost to compete at the Big Go, including entry, accommodations, food, race car and support equipment costs. $3,000?

Not a chance, how about...

A freshen up to make the field...
6000 mile round trip tow..
10 days on the road motels and food..
Crew passes and food
If you are going to with $3000 and no credit cards, do yourself a favor and stay home...

Just sayin...

He only asked bout the entry fee.

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.

And you plan on selling everything at INDY and not take I home????

[Frank Castros]

18 alternates in Super Stock and 5 in Stock if I counted them correctly.

No I would be towing my stuff back to Florida if I did decide to go some day. $600 for fuel each direction at today’s fuel price . About a 1200 mile tow each way
