Message	My projected weekend cost for CMP: Fuel: $150 (including travel to/from) Food: $50 (for myself - my wife eats free as an official) Lodging: $0 (wife works as an official, gets a room) Entry Fee: $0 (I've done flagging/grid, and earned track credits. I won't have to pay for an event this season) Tires: ~$50 (just running on street tires for now. I've done ~300 track miles on my Kumho Supra 712s and they're holding up fine. No need for expensive R tires at this stage of the game) Brakes: ~$150 (probably the last weekend for this set of rotors. Pads will be okay the rest of the season though. I bleed fluid before every 3rd event, assuming that it is holding up okay) Oil: $35 (oil change before every event) So thats ~$500 for a weekend. And I'm not paying for any fees or hotel rooms. Expensive hobby. '90 300ZX Twin Turbo | '94 Lightning | '04 WRX Madison Motorsports
