Probably 7 gallons and hour x that by 25, thats 175. There will be some yellows and slow times, so say 135ish? 135 x 2.50/gallon is $340 ish

It's not the gas, there is so much more to this event. If you think you can run a miata in this race competively for less than $5k I would say enter next years and see how much you spend.

FWIW, I was offered to drive a Spec Miata in the 25 for $3700. That is splitting a car with 3 other drivers and includes entry, gas, tires, crew, and minor damage (tire rubs, windshield). It's a lot more than you'd think...
Bryan, Sean's actually a pretty respectable track driver with a race ready SM. He's not a keyboard racer- he just hasn't experienced all the costs involved first hand since he hasn't done a season yet.

Yea around $10k for that car makes sense to me, the 25 is not a cheap event by any means.
FWIW I know Sean is out there at the track I was just giving him a hard time on his numbers

I'd be happy to share with you our costs for this year once we're done with the event and know what the totals are.

Cost... I can barly afford to keep my car on the road. I wouldn't even think of entering an event like this.
As for putting me to work. Ask me to do a few field sobriety tests before giving me anything important to do. Na , I'll help you out. Are we going to be allowed in the pit area, or are they hard core with who gets access? I can keep my mind off the bottom of my bottle if you give me something to do. My wife was wondering if she should go. I told her she would probably get bored, cold, tired ect. Besides if she went I wouldn't be able to snuggle with Dre. Is he going?
