After one of Knox's threads about number last fall I decided to keep track of all my racing expenses for the 2016 season (you have to be a masochist to keep track of this for sure) including:
Upgrading from 2009 to 2014 machine:
- New quad and parts $11,973.91 (many discounts and deals here)
- Old quad and parts sold $5,121.94
- Net cost of $6,851.97
Maintenance/Gear Costs (Oil, Filter, Tearoffs, Replacements, Etc.):
- $373.04
Entry Fees/Racing/Practice/Travel Expense/Race Fuel
- 12 Races
- 16 Practice
- 2,828 Miles traveled (All in Ohio except 1 trip to Earlywine)
- $1,767.97
Total Dollars Spent
- $8992.98
- Approximately 40 hours of actual ride time on the hour meter
- $224.82 per hour
- $7.49 per lap (est. 2 min lap)
Costs don't include the tow vehicle (daily driver), camper (used for more than racing), food (make food at the track instead of visiting the concession stand) or track bucks won/used, or practice fees saved by working at the track.
