The cost of racing at gainesville

Michael Beard · 03-14-2011, 03:04 PM

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.
