I think you are better off calculating your current set up. There are so many variables, most wont apply. The things that will. Entry fee. You just need to consider your mpg on tow rig, fuel for race car, lodging, food can vary depending on your taste and frugality. It isn’t that hard to figure your own estimate.

The wild cards are maintenance for tow rig nd race car of course.

In our case, we tow with a older diesel pusher and stay at the track. We figure 7 mpg factoring diesel generator run time in there. Costco food binge to load up the fridge 200 dollars. Entry and pit passes and race fuel. Not counting any maintenance for racecar or rig. We just carry xx amount for unplanned events that can happen on the road and try to do proper pmi to prevent issues on road or the track.
