this is what it cost me to race @ reading for two weekends last Oct.


race fuel $200.00
diesel $1000.00 (3200 KM)
two races $450.00 fee
new slicks $450.00
beer $200.00 for two people for 10 days @ .60 a beer
Off work $2000.00
food $0 have to eat anyways
crap $400.00.

went 11 rounds over the two weekends(not including TT and class)

$427.27 a round

.also does not including $80,000 for the truck and trailer or insurance. $30,000 for the car,$10,000 for a spare motor.

to race local it would cost
fuel 30 don't use race fuel (car is faster with street gas)
diesel 150
fee 60 plus 20 for a gamblers race
tires 30
beer 30
off work 0
food 0
crap 50


If I went a 11 round over the weekend,it would cost me $33.64(not including TT)

also does not including $80,000 for the truck and trailer or insurance. $30,000 for the car,$10,000 for a spare motor and much,much more crap.

And I'll do it again and again and again because it what I do
