That's the reason I suggested A6's for Greg's Hot Rod.

Guys forget about what the actual cost is for me to run a track day weekend in California... that's a roughly 1500 mile round trip in "the rig"... so fuel down and back is $1000 just in truck fuel.
Two cars with two drivers - entry fees another $1000
Race gas = $600ish
Cheeseballs = $5
Ron Sutton = PRICELESS
Tires are just consumables... ditto brakes. While they're not giving these away... they ARE just all part of the fun. Fun, to me, means being able to go out and run @ 80 or 90% and be able to KEEP UP with the pack. I don't have the DNA (anymore) that says I have to lead the pack... I just want to go out and run and keep up, and pass some guys, while others pass me.
These weekends are made SPECIAL by seeing my friends... dishing crap... (that's free).... LEARNING.... which to me is always important. If I hoover (or should this be changed to HOOSIER?) thru an extra set of tires and pads - so be it.
