Datman55.....................holy cow I new I did racing on the cheap and your talking AUS dollars but I do the whole year for $1500. My budget includes two Vintage weekends and 5 track days (remember as a worldly instructor type I get a discount)............man I'm cheap , I'm nearly having a stroke just thinking about it.
So as a cheap arse....................c'mon guys go spend what you can and have fun. Better to go on a minimal budget then miss a good event.

i hear you matty, all the above except the job part, and kid is 2, doesnt get much easier money wise. Im looking for petrol money as a killer too to the island but will be there to enjoy. wont enter anything, dont think i will register the car... just observe.

Rallytwit....... That budget includes running costs, but not repairs etc....

Our first meeting for 2007 is April, and I still don't have my new pistons or repaired the head from last years blow up! Add to that a new set of tyres, new oil cooler set-up, new front & rear spoilers.........it's going to be an expensive couple of months!

Oh I hear ya the single seater was $600 a day US................that's why I'm back to the 85HP wonder.............as we said it's whatever you can afford..............now if I can just get the 12 yr old to stop eating and wearing clothing the budget will be freed up considerably.

Tom

My 12 yr old just bought at car out of his own money....I just get to pay for trailer hire, repair parts, consumables and tools to fix it up.....wish he could have a cheap hobby.

Yes ive decided not to go and have a Datsun b day bash for my birtday as it falls on the 5th..........

Quote:Tom, I think that you are going to be seriously dissapointed with each passing year untill the little one gets a job.
[hint] I hear that salt mines pay well.

Does the nissan datsun club profit from this event???
