What do you guys/gals spend for your annual racing budget? I'm interested in knowing what it costs to race per event. Things like entry fees, fuel, tires, lodging, food, etc. I'm trying to plan a budget to present to the Finance Committee (wife) so she has an idea what we need to spend. I am not including any expenses relating to initial vehicle purchase or preparation.
I am using a value of 10 races in a season, some local, some not. I do realize that I may end up in a region that could have more or less races, so I just decided to use 10 as a nice even number. |

QUOTE (CMC#5 @ May 5 2004, 07:57 AM) Do you camp at the track or get a hotel? I tried that camping at the track bit. Unfortunately, most all the tracks I go to have Friday and Saturday night drag racing until 1am. Not very restful sleeping. |
