That's right Joe, I've never spent more than about $800 per weekend
(including 5 hours of travel each way) and usually it's more like $500 -
$600.  If my wife, err, I mean crew chief/team owner ever thought it was $2k
per weekend I'd be retired already and I just got started ;-).

They did a good job with the "Bang for the buck" message . . . until JB 
tried to actually put some numbers to it!  He mentioned several costs - 
tires, entry fees, then estimated "$2k per race".  Ain't it more like $1k 
per weekend?  . . . and even less.  I'm often way under that for two races 
at a DN weekend.  But then again, I'm cheap.
