Just for information sake.i ran 5 race weekends in the PCA club race circuit in SpecBox in 2012 and my total spend was over $25K including hotels and fuel to and from the track. About 6K was on repairs maintenance and upgrades. All the rest were normal racing expenses including tires, brakes, entry fees, fuel, etc. . I'm budgeting 20k for 5 races in 2013 and keeping 5K available for unexpected contingencies. 2012 was effectively my rookie year and a lot of the 6k was just getting things sorted.

2013 I'm going to learn how to make tires last longer. I was running an average of 1 new set of tires every weekend (5 grand right there) and people faster than I were asking tires to last twice as long. I've also bought an RV which will reduce my 3K hotel bill.

Happy new year everybody.a
