The more rounds you win, the less it costs.

That is not really true unless you get to the final.Losing in the fifth round of a Division race costs you more money than losing in the first round.

One time a guy asked me how much money I have into racing?
I thought a while and, my answer was,... ALL OF IT!

I wonder how much a pound fish costs a hardcore fisherman / woman?

I would say my cost is around $75-$100 per run all in. Give or take.
I'm no accountant but at least we have SOMETHING to sell when we are done, unlike a dirt track car.

2004-2011...$0 (sponsor covered tab), 2012 first year in superstock...$1250.00 per run (85runs) including sponsorship $. 2013...$ ?

Playing beer pong with Johnnie Walker Blue does not help the cost per run @ $40 a shot!
lol.

Way to go Bo, I thought I was depressed about the Gators, but now you bring this up. I tried not to do any calculations, but could not resist.

I am really depressed now, thanks.

Don't understand why everyone is so surprised at the cost.
Are you going to stop?
I don't think so!LOL!
