    gotten several folks asking for cost info. i really didnt want to do this in public, but here goes. full disclosure.

    entry fee - $800 ($266 per driver)
    car costs:
    fuel is gonna be close to $160
    tires (1 full set) $950
    total = $1100 plus.
    that’s $550 each.
    add entry fee into it- $816 per driver. total arrive and drive.
    if you have 2 new tires you can give, that knocks it down to $80 (half of the fuel). I'll take a pair of R888's shaved or full tread (from each co-driver). I already have the tires I plan to use for the enduro.

    realize that i'm not after anyone writing a check. I just need the costs for this covered. tires and brakes and fuel are the costs for the car. brakes have been covered by a sponsor. that knocked $250 plus off the tally. the other unknown is driver entry fee. it will be shared equally between all 3 drivers. I still have other maint items I'm gonna have to do before and after the race.
    hubs - $150 each x 2.
    oil change - $50 or more.
    plus general wear and tear on the car for 8 hours.
    we will have crew folks who need to be taken care of. i generaly feed them well. i have 2 hotel rooms reserved. my father-in-law is flying in for this. so far we have all out crew folks from last year (6 folks) plus a few more to get us to about 8-10.

    feedback please.

    ********new info*********

    early estimates of entry fee cost are $800 per Team of 2-4 drivers. this will be split amoung driver for my team evenly, including myself.

    I'd love to do it. My problem isn't funding, it's reaching the pedals.

    its an unofficial number, but i got it from the man in charge. it will be published shortly.

    there is alot of costs involved w/ this event. including an increase in track rental due to after hours opperation. lights for the hot pits, a full second set of corner workers and lots of other thingsi dont know about.

    have you looked at the entry fee for the 25 or Thunderhill? i think its like $2500.
