Glad you're keeping it.
Yes and no... I would of had to put it back to stock in November for smog anyway. Could've borrowed parts but swapping out an "engine back exhaust" is a pita! I have just been enjoying the car as a daily driver. Next on the list is a compression/leak down tests and a 90k maint.

6 people....

Car...
$100 a head

Entry
$100 a head.

Roll cage
$500 a head

Seat and harnass
$250 a head

Helmet/suit/gloves
$500 a head

Extinguisher... 2.
$50 a head

Misc parts and repair... spare tires/wheels, etc.
$300 a head.



This is a minimum ball park of what it'll cost to get a car ready to go. This doesn't include time stripping the car and doing the other prep work.

That's $1800 a head plus fuel.

It would be a realistic expectation to spend $10,000-15,000.

That's what has always kept me from wanting to do it. Finding the car is easy. But For $2000 I can do probably 5 track days with my own car.

But like I said... if I could throw a couple hundred bucks at someone and be able to drive in lemons I'd do it in heartbeat.

you can get a used helmet and gloves for under 100. I see snell 2000 helmets for under 30 bucks on craigslist all the time. but yes all in all it would be expensive. does every team member need all the safety equipment? cant you just have 2 sets and rotate as drivers rotate?
