I'm sitting here doing math and I'm finding that the $ per seat time argument isn't holding up when you look at a full 10 event season of autox vs 10 track day expenses, including entry fees, gas, tires, pads, rotors, insurance (?), and lodging (?).
Using my actual data from last year
# of AutoX events: 5 (due to health and other reasons)
Total time spent driving at events: 42.65 minutes
Entry fees: $175
Fuel cost driving to, from, and at events: $90
Tolls: $40
Tires: $0. on my 3rd season with my Z1s, which I also daily from March to early November, depending on weather trends. Original purchase price $800. plus mount and balance $90.
Pads: $0. installed HPSes 4 years ago and have a third of life left. Original purchase price was $200 for all 4 corners.
Rotors $300. I installed these in February of last year but the originals had 90k miles on them. I hardly consider this an autox expenditure.
Totalling that up, last year I spent $7.15 for every minute spent of actual driving at autoxes.
I'm very interested to hear what you guys are spending per year on all your track days and how many events you do.
