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?
