Alright im wanting to get back into racing after 12 years. Im just curious as to what its costing a weekend to go racing now a days.
Roughly how many races can you get on a set of tires and be competitive?Man it really depends. I don’t even calculate the total price because I don’t even want to know how much I spend one weekend. But so many things I purchase last me many weekends so there is no telling.
Honestly i would like to race the goat series and all the big money races. Thats what we used to run and they were all on the ht3’s or pinks which is what we called them.Tires and competition type would be a consideration .
Same with cost local Saturday night vs series/money racing.
If you don't show up to those big money races with 3 brand new sets of tires your just out playing. These people don't mess around. Go to a Saturday night show and just work your way back into it buddy. We spend $25 at the gate and gas money and have five times the fun racing for a hotdog and a handshake.Honestly i would like to race the goat series and all the big money races.

Thanks bud. I remember we used to buy a case to get ready for the nationals and races like thanksgiving thunder. Also my plan was to run the weekly show at Swainboro but word is they have shut that track down and all the others close byIf you don't show up to those big money races with 3 brand new sets of tires your just out playing.

Dang that aint as bad as I thought it was. I know you get into the money when you start with prep and tires$65 tow fuel
$20 generator gas
$5 kart gas
$7 methanol
$15 per gate fee
$30 entry fee per kart
$11 per qt of oil
So that’s $153 and we not even gotten into the kart maintenance, tires and tire prep.
Kart gas is 5 a gallon, I use rec fuel which is 5 a gallon and i use a five gallon can to fill it up, so its 25 dollars for fuel for meDang that aint as bad as I thought it was. I know you get into the money when you start with prep and tires
Dang i need your hand me downs.ive had one new set in last 7 yrs lmao..My guess is 200$ a night plus tow money .
3 sets of tires too start a minimum of one new set per race .
