It's a lot more money than people think. Between setting up the car and getting it track worthy. Getting everyone on the team race suits/helmets/gear etc. Then arranging or buying a trailer, tow vehicle, gas to/from, new tires every race, gas for the race car, spare parts, broken parts/wearables, etc.. it keeps adding up.

So figure 5k on the car up front, then at least 1-2k per race?

Oh, btw, we are building a car for next year as well.
