the costs of running a series these days?

[gigglesnirt]

I've been curious lately what are the costs people are putting down for most of the series these days? nopi or fd, and how much are some of the bigger sponsors paying for each driver? It seems falken is putting in a lot of money having 3 rigs for each event alone. I wouldn't say im interested in running atleast not soon but want to compare some of the other racing series' around the US and look at how things have grown.

car - 50k
travel - depends on where you're located, which series you're doing, and what you're towing with, but including gas / hotel i think 20-30k per car is about right. The more cars you have, the cheaper it is per car.
Fuel / mechanic / entry fees - 10k.

Give or take, but I think you'll find most people spending around 50k to build a car and 50k to run the car each year. That's without putting any money in anyone's pockets. Many drivers are getting paid a salary, on top of all that.

ballpark estimate

venue (rental/cleanup/damages) - 35K
advertising (mag/radio/web/promos) - 50K
logistics (bleechers/fencing/barriers/stage/medical) - 85K
Labor (including office staff) - 35K
Travel (plane/hotel/cars) - 30K
Drift prize money - $10K
Car show prize money and awards - 6K


total 251K per event

Of corse many costs vary widely depending on many factors.

These figures are for the series events and would not even come close on the nationals.

you could probably save up to 75% of those costs simply by switching to race tracks instead of parking lots.

...and you can save up to 15% by switching to GEICO.
