PS - in response to a couple of email conversations I've had today, the short answer is ~$1000 for half of the 3-hour enduro, all inclusive. That's a break because CMS will already be there (no additional transportation costs) and we'll likely run on low-miles Hoosiers leftover from the 13 hours. Not picking on anyone in particular but if you think that half of the direct costs of tires, gas, and entry fee is the right price for an enduro seat, please let me know so I can rent from YOU instead. That would be schweeeet! :) Seriously - I'm not embarrassed to share the fact that historical costing data since Fall of 2003 indicates that $400/hour of track time is the right figure to cover amortization of the car over a sensible life, all of the parts we replace before they bust, engine rebuilds and other regular service, etc. If you are a newbie reading this, and are thinking I'm being mercenary, you will eventually figure it out - one way or another. And that figure doesn't even include costs associated with towing because I hire Conover by the mile to do that for me.

Personally I think that's a steal!
