|  So, you want to try club racing do ya?
Costs for the last weekend: $765.73 Includes: New set of Dunlop 208GPAs (DOT RACE): $311 Hotel (2 nights): $149 Racing fees (one practice day + one race): $165 Race Gas/Truck Gas/food/ATM etc: The rest Now, I get 2-3 race weekends on a set of the Dunlops. And, when we race at Infineon, I stay at home. This is more realistic if you are racing a newer bike, and have to drive more than an hour from home. Some fellow racers are running several races with 2-3 bikes. You can see how the costs will multiply there. Most of the fast guys will swap tires every weekend. Some twice in a weekend. Slicks are more expensive than the DOT race rubber as well. I usually run 2-3 races, but I am in the points in Super Dinosaur, so, eh, I'd rather run balls out on the one and I can hope for some class trophy at the AFM banquet in January!  Yeah, I could camp out, and save the $149. F--k that. Army burned me out on that Bulls--t!  - Nut |
