For me it's a few reasons, but I'm not QUITE a track junkie:
First, it's 3 nights hotel, meals, etc........+$400
Reg. fee...........~$375
Second, too close for me to the Pocono date (then nothing till the Glen in August)
More importantly:
2 days @ Jefferson is too overwhelming for the 1 day @ Summit (maybe 1 Jeff, 1 Shenandoah, 1 Summit)
Quote:I'm not sure why that is. But, I'm sure the condition of the economy and the price of fuel has a lot to do with it. That's what some of the guys I talk to in the paddocks are saying. Basically, the cost of a DE weekend can run close to $1000 or more. When you break it down........
2 nights hotel, meals.............................................$300
Registration Fee....................................................$300
Transportation Fuel & Track Fuel.............................$200+ (double if you're towing)
Miscellaneous expenses which Always come up........$100
I'm sure I left some things out and this does not even allow for useage of consumables such as brakes, tires and repairs.
