Title: Budget Help with IMCA Dirt Modified
Post by lrainer on 04/03/14 at 8:53am

Wanting to get back into racing, I've gone out and purchased a used VC Modified and am in the process of rebuilding the engine. I am expecting to do a part time schedule at the more local tracks (Ventura & Perris) this year, then start a full schedule next year. Now that I am fully committed, I've decided to approach things with a bit more structure. So, I am working on a three year plan and budget.

Is anyone willing to share their budget with me to get me started? Some of the costs are easily obtainable, but where I get stuck is on the life span of items and expected race fuel consumption on a race night. Things like tire life, parts, races between engine rebuilds, hidden costs not usually realized, etc. I understand that it will be different for different people, so my budget is really just a best guess right now.

Thank you in advance for any help.
