I really can't see how you spent $3800 per race weekend. At this point, in my 4th year of racing, I spend about $1500 per weekend and that includes all consumables,(on race car and tow vehicle!), entry fees, hotel bills, etc... Even includes garage rental at the track... You must stay at some really nice hotels.....
