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 ;-).

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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kenneth Kirkland" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, November 30, 2006 4:03 PM Subject: Re: [F500] F500 coverage > Jan, > > Yeah, I caught that "Rotax only" implication, too.
