25hrs at Thunder Hill Dec 1st-3rd Discussion Thread
I'm really looking forward to this. It should be a blast this year. Mike and the rest of the GST bunch are getting the L looking pretty sharp. The car looks like a competitor. So who' going? Who's been. Where you staying? What should we bring. Only 20 days left.

So what do you think the cheapest you can do it for? If you bring your own car, have friends drive... I hear things like 700-2500 for a seat to drive in another car. I would think you could do it for cheaper then that with your own car.

For an ES class car figure $3500-$4500 per driver.

it would be a Miata that runs on pump 91 thoughProbably 7 gallons and hour x that by 25, thats 175. There will be some yellows and slow times, so say 135ish? 135 x 2.50/gallon is $340 ish
