Thank you! It was such a joy after being stuck inside for 6 months. And yes, it is pricey even at a barebones level. I have a rough outline for this years expenses below. A few of these mods will serve me for years to come so it’s a modest investment. Next year hoping to do about 7 events with no further mods, just consumables for roughly the same amount of $.

- [x] Brake fluid, Oil/filter X2- $500
- [x] Gas $300 +
- [x] Dinan Shockware - $350
- [x] Bell helmet SA 2015 - $200
- [x] Alpinestars gloves - $100
- [x] HPDE insurance - $700 (3 events)
- [x] Turner tow strap - $90
- [x] SCHROTH Quick Fit Pro - $300
- [x] TR Motorsport C4 17x8 et40 245/40/17 x 4 RS-4’s - $1,500
- [x] Organize event kit - torque wrench, brake tools, oil, coolant, tire pressure gauge, cleaners, tent, cooler, folding chair, etc. - $200
- [x] Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park - (ride along only)
- [x] New York Safety Track (NYST) - $250
