Round Trip gas (older gas burning dually tag trailer) 640 miles 8 mpg $2.40/gal average - $192
Entry - $160
Crew - $60
Hotel 5 nights Towneplace Suites (recommend) senior rate $76/night plus tax and fees - $420 (prices significantly higher for the national starting Friday)
Race Gas 10 gal C16 (if you win the race) $170
Generator gas 5 gal 2.40/gal (new efficient 2000 watt no a/c) $12
$1000 budget anyway you look at it unless you have a living quarter trailer or motorhome. Then you would want to factor in monthly payment if you don't own it out right.
We saved by leaving the rig down for the gators and by not going many rounds.
