What does not make sense to you?
The guy splits his expenses and his expenses are higher therefore higher price per teammate.
I realize and respect that, don't mind at all.
I just would rather pay for a local ride, meet the guys, see the car, get involved.
You know me, I'm just a senseless kinda guy.
Cheers.

as an fyi. i rented out 8 stints last year.

900-950 for double 7 races. which nets 1h35-55 racetime per stint. per day.

so for 3:30-355 of racing wheel to wheel all expenses covered (damage extra) figure minimum 900$ there are teams that charge 1100-1300 based on pedigree and competitiveness of machine) depeds on event as well.

Chumpcar teams will factor in tire wear of the track... for example Mosport is a longer tow to get there, bad on gas for the race (long uphill back straight).... but easy on tires.

calabogie was med wear on tires but easier on gas and closer tow. also we factor wear on car and parts.

We spent over 4k per race weekend. and that got to be split among the drivers.

if you have questions.. 514-916-9971


btw Renting seats for calabogie, st-eustache possibly and the last Watkins

I'm curious to see how far ASE and Calabogie are away from you as far as miles and time to get there.

Well , Calabogie is behind us now, the AISA CRX did pretty well, and we are getting ready for ASE August 16th.


NEXT EVENT AUGUST 16TH ASE!!!!

12 hour event!!
 
In other news, I raced with the crapcanracing.com team at the Chump Car 24H race at VIR this past weekend. It was all kinds of awesome. Driving at night on a completely dark track (no lighting) with crappy headlights pointing in the wrong direction because of "bodywork modifications" earlier in the race is one of life's more intense experience. I ended up driving aroun 7hrs during that race, in 3 different cars. 2 very big boxes checked on the bucket list (VIR and 24hr race).

Good luck to the team this weekend!
 
Lotta fun yesterday, didn't drive (too :eek1:) mebbe next year!

Oh YES!
They got everything!
Battle laden races, breakdowns, spins, offs, and in the wet to boot !

Yet So many teams shared tools to help with each other.

One of our pilots had bit of of contact with the walls (wet drag skids) then headed into the pits.
We ran down from the stands but before we even caught up, another team pulled off the dangling parts and sent the car back on the track ! That was amazing!
Best part and worth repeating , ALL the cars finished ! :victory:
