Ha,so Tom by my reckoning I owe you $33.00. P.

And by that reasoning, it gets cheaper if you drive faster!

Adding this up, a year of competition costs me between $800 and $1600 depending on how much travelling I do and how hard I am on the tires.  2017 may be a bit more expensive but I might give up the planned car upgrades to keep the cost under control.

How many days of racing was this?  Instead of total cost, it would probably be best to estimate cost per person per day.

Jo and I race 40 to 60 days per year, so with two of us, our total cost isn't unexpected or unreasonable.

haha no way Paul, the fun I had driving your GTR more than made up for any tire wear.

Good point.  Last year I managed to attend 14 events, the year before was similar.  I don't have a count for previous years but I would say between 9 and 18 events a year.
