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.

Well not racing here's what I rekon for a typical track weekend;

Tares: Last 2 events 650 plus 60 mount balance 710/2 =355
brakes: Last 1 event 200
every other event rotors 100/2 =50
Gas 30 gallons =60
gas for tow vehicle = 10 mpg 300 miles 30 gallons = 50$ x 2 =100$
hotel if needed 100$
Entry fee 200-500

total 1 weekend

1000$ - 1300$
I did 15 events last year, and wrecked my car to the tune of 6 k! 20k gone! But
it's a hobby and I enjoyed it
