Chris, prices vary by the ride of course but for a ST ride, averages tend to be between $7,500 - $12,000 for a decent ride. At the same time, it wasn't difficult to find teams that charge $15,000 plus. Then that's just for the ride and does not include several other costs including entry fee, and then where you can empy your wallet - cost for damage done to the car. That's handled differently depending upon the teams. Some are known for not making money on the rental but instead make it on crash damage.
(I've been working on a series of articles about the realities of pro racing. Gulick and I even got to sit down with Duncan Dayton whose the owner of the AMLS Highcroft Racing team. That was cool!)
