It's what these cars are built for
I don't just drive my car on the street. I also take it to the race track every chance I get. It's sort of misleading to include my track-specific spending in with the normal maintenance costs of the car, so I split the egregiously large expenses off onto this page. Obviously, the line is blurry and imprecise, but I do the best I can. For instance, I get way more oil changes and brake fluid flushes than the service schedule demands. Is that a track expense or a normal expense? I try to be fair where I can.
Live in Texas? JOIN US. It's great fun.
I've put 1,149 track miles on the car.
