TnT Racing 2001 Expenses

Tires:

Tires are probably the single most important piece on the modified.  We must have good tires every night in order to race well.  While tires are important on the stock, they last up to 5 times longer than modified tires.

             Stock Tires:  $65.00 per tire Need: 10 per year

             Modified Tires:  $100.00 per tire Need: 1 per race

Engines :

Engines have become increasingly expensive over the years.  The engines that we run can currently be run in either car.  We have three very strong running motors, but like anything else on the car, they must be highly maintained.  Our primary motors will need rebuilt twice per year, one at the beginning of the year and one after 20 – 25 races.

             Engine:  $4,000 - $6,000 new

             Rebuilds:  $1,000 - $1,500

Fuel:

            Stock:   $3.50 per gallon

           20-25 gallons per weekend

           Modified  $2.50 per gallon

           20-25 gallons per race

Misc :

These expenses include crash damage, spare parts, fuel for the two haul trucks, pit passes, etc.  Crashing is an inevitable part of dirt track racing.  It can be very expensive to put a race car back together after a crash.  Therefore, we hope we never need to do it, but we do include the expense into our yearly budget.

           Crash Damage (both cars) $6,000

           Spare Parts   $4,000

           Fuel    $60 per night

           Pit Passes   $20 per person per night
