So for us losing is not an option. We need all the contingency we can get

Whoooah you need to send me your budget, I was considering sponsoring a buddy of mine throught my business and he told me it would cost about 50,000.00 just for him! Obviously you have a better accountant.

I'm about $500 a month for a two-day event. To keep the cost low I camp at the track, bring my own food and try to bring a buddy along to split the cost of gas.

Also I corner work at all of TMP's track days at Summit Point. They pay me $100 to $135 a day, which goes right to my track day account with them.

Damn lots of money being spent. I'm gonna save up this winter hopefully so I can do at least one event a month, around 1 or 2 trackdays. Looking foward to this November when I'll be doing VIR south and north w/ TPM.

My wife makes sure I get a monthly printout of my track expenses.....
In a slow month it's around $500 to $1000. In the busy months it's been as high as $3000 to $4000.

maybe some people cant afford to go every month. I about $700 bucks for a weekend. and get out 2 or 3 times a year. If I hadnt bought my jeep before i started getting into the track, I would bought a beater and had more money for more days.

2 days a month is about $200 with tires and an oil change. I only pay $45 for a day at the track, I run diablo corsa front and diablo rear that I get for about $225 a set, they last 4 track days, and I live 30 minutes from the track, so travel costs are really low.

I wasn't judging anyone that couldn't afford the monthly expense. I could care less. Note the smiley..

I hear you on the weather, Junkie. I have the 25th set up and I'm hoping this weather will pass on by by then.

who with on the 25th? i think tmp has beaver run on the 26th that should be close to you. takes me 4hours to get there from my house. thats the first track i went too.

[96SNAKE/03RR]

The 25th I'm going with Reduc. I'm also trying to get in for Beaver Run on 10/10 Reduc if I can figure out a way to afford new BT 002's by then.

I'm hoping to get in TP's last two dates for the year if I can too.

[EA6BMECH]

96Snake, how long did the 002's last?? You liked them too right???

[96SNAKE/03RR]

Loved them, EA6B,

I have one full day on the 002's and I'll have one more after the 25th. I'll put them up for sale after that. I'd like to think I could get more out of them but I don't want to take the chance on testing the theory.
