Jason S. 2 Posted February 4, 2014 I have a feeling they are being massaged a little bit which is why the general schedule got posted in place of the detailed one that sparked this monster of a thread. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DriverGT5 0 Posted February 6, 2014 FWIW I am paying full price for Barber, closing the shop for two days to make the drive, and while I think the total cost is high (my entry fees are only 17% of my total cost BTW) I'm just excited to get the chance to go back once more. Barber is a great track and a lot of fun and I feel it is worth the expense at least once and a while. 450/.17=$2,647 WOW! That's a lot of money for a weekend. Well the good news is that we figured out it was cheaper to fly Kelly to Barber Friday night than to close the shop so now that we are going to be open Friday and Monday it'll only cost us around $1500 including the plane ticket. The Roadster isn't expensive to run but our truck gets 6.7 MPG, camping and power are $50 a day, tires, fuel, plane tickets, and at the time closing for two days would have easily cost what I said above. Now I'm at a much more reasonable 30% ratio. I got 15MPG towing with our V6 Explorer Sport and an open trailer. I got 11MPG towing with our 4.6 F150 (a much safer 11MPG I might add). Then we decided to get a 28' enclosed trailer so we didn't get rained on and had a place to sleep. Now I get a fabulous 6.7 MPG. 7.5 MPG when drafting Jim's big rig!! I was seriously looking for a diesel but realized that if we tow to every event this year, a diesel truck will save us about $1500 in gas. With the cost to purchase one easily $5000 more than what our F150 is worth I think it's cheaper to just pony up the higher gas prices. Plus Kelly and I are building a house and I really don't want to park any more money in racing gear at the moment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim P. 0 Posted February 12, 2014 Our experience has been that less than 30% of racers participate in Sunday practice/warmups so there is no reason to think that it will be anything but a few racers who want "more track time". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would have to agree with you Jim. Personally, I don't think I ever ran a Sunday practice session (to save on consumables). Most racers skip all the Sunday morning meetings and catch up on some zzz's from a late Saturday evening. Not having a morning warmup does however stink for those guys who break on Saturday and have to test repairs during a qualifying session. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

awdracer 0 Posted February 14, 2014 This has to be the biggest SE event ever. I don't recall ever seeing this many racers at an SE event. It looks like you guys are going strong. Great stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
