Re: The cost of racing at gainesville
I withdrew from Gainesville as I was unable to leave on Wednesday as the schedule required, due to my current workload. I ended up running two local races, won Saturday, R/U Sunday, had a ton of fun, and made a lot of money.
I typically tow about 12,000 miles a year at 12 mpg = 1,000 gallons, so if gas is $1/gal higher than last year, it'd cost an extra $1,000 this year. Made more than that this weekend. (and towing the Turismo I get more like 14-14.5 mpg) I'll have feedback RE: ridiculous insurance surcharge, etc. if I get into Charlotte.

Terry...as BIGG likes to say, you can never put a price on a good time. Because of this, I've stopped kepping records.

Re: The cost of racing at gainesville
I added up my expenses for the Gators and they totaled ZERO. So far, I feel pretty good about it.

Re: The cost of racing at gainesville
Craig, the problem is that when you are not at the races you go buy a 90k Cadillac! You gotta factor that in..lol.

Re: The cost of racing at gainesville
It was higher of course, but if u can't afford to go just stay home it's like having a 250,000 racing operation and asking how much fuel is???
