I just finished reading about the 912 racer in Excellence, and was starting to feel inspired, thinking of ways to come up with the $$ to properly prep my 914 for the track.
Before I do anything drastic, I'd like to hear from the guys that track their cars regularly. What type of racing do you do, and how much $$$ does a season cost you? What are the primary expenses? |

Q: How do you make a million bucks racing a Porsche? A: Start with two million! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/av-943.gif) Running a stock class car in POC STS series I figure $500 out of pocket for the weekend. The additional big expenses for car maintenance (my car '90S2) amount to 1 additional set of tires/year and 1.5 sets of brake pads/year. There are those incidental things that'll add up over time (liters of Castrol LMA, additional oil changes, ... ) but I'm not tracking them. So far I'm not breaking many things so that's not been an issue (knock on wood) and I'm having tons of fun. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) On your mark, get set, go!
