Woot... just got asked to be a guest speaker at the PCA social tonight about winning the event. Humm... dang wish I hadn't shaved my head now.. lol

 

PICS!

Is Doug still sporting the racing stripes?

 

No.. Leh actually had to shave them off late night in a parking lot. We had Excellence mag fly out to shoot and cover us for the last two legs of the event for a large write up they are doing on us winning. So right now my hair is just really really short... lol

 

Doug your posting under my name...Log Out

 

LOL as in bald!

 

I like little boys.. hehe

 

No not bald... think military hair cut though.. short and tight, how I like my women.

We plan on doing the ultimate track car challenge, sebring time attack, and some pca events. All that along with our normal monthly private track events... which by the way the next one will be at Roebling Road June 18th.

Doug/Cicio post up a pic of the trophy case.

 

working on it now... gotta get it all purty like for the... oops can't let out all the secretes

 

damn you spelling police

 

FTW!!

 

That does look good.

 

Since you guys have experienced this (OLoA) multiple times, can you give an estimate (less car) of how much it costs? Just wondering how much the hotels, gas, food, etc. equal up to, as well as what all is comped by sponsors.

An event like this is something of a dream opportunity for most of us

 

Is it flexing in the middle of the case from all that hardware lol?

 

$6341.98

True story

Ha, yes I need to build a support...damn ikea

 

A few Porsche builds and money made back. I see you guys already had a white Porsche in the shop yesterday Let the business ROLL!

No ROI in OLOA my foot!

 

I am sure there is a lot of ROI for the team that wins almost every race
2nd place, not so much.

 

Actually getting two separate articles in the Top P-car mag alone cover the ROI. At this point the write up PCA is going to give us, my speech at the PCA social, plus all the tunes, and car setups we have already booked because of the win are just icing on the cake.. So yeah Dominating OLOA has already shown us a HUGE ROI.

 

That's nothing short of AWESOME.

 

Can I get an itemized listing so I can know where I can cut costs...I WILL do this in the next few years.

 

Didn't a coupe run in this years event?

 

entry $2700

tires you HAVE to buy from tire rack - $1,200 ish

food for 10 days (don't forget travel up and back, you could not eat and save money. or taco bell $1 menu, car won't smell too good after 10 days)

hotel for 10 days (or sleep in your car or tent for 10 days).

gas for the 3000 - 4000 miles of the event, plus getting there and back.

car wash, oil change, booze money, alignment, brake pads and fluid.

luke

 

Rough estimate

entry fee - 2700
SVRA membership - 150/per so $300
10 days of hotel - $85/avg = $850
5 tires from tirerack - $1500 (more if you do testing)
Gas - 4500miles total including trip there and back @ 20mpg and $3.15/gal = $708
Race Gas - 3-4 gals each track event and there are 15 road events x 3.5 x 8.50/gal = $446


Just that alone gives you $6504, and doesn't include food or misc items you get along the way.

I think we cut just about as much out of our onelap budget as possible.. if we had the budget to blow we could have used up an easy 10k running onelap.
