dreracecar:
This is drag racing, and one should never add up the receipts.
Supercat:
Receipts are only important for IRS deductions ;D
The more you do yourselves the cheaper the overall cost.
Don't overanalyze the cost it takes the fun out of anything!
coupemerc:
I agree with the posts above. You don't even want to know what it costs! I can tell you that in the early 1990s I calculated expenses based on 60 runs with our Top Alcohol Dragster. We were reasonably competitive at the NHRA National level. I included travel, entry fees, parts depreciation, etc. If the car did not break any parts, it was $1065 per run. I can't imagine what it costs to run one of those today.

I put my complete setup, ready to run, just add fuel, up for sale two years ago.
Never got one bit.
Now I'm building a 1,200 HP engine and am beyond your total cost for your rig.
All depends on how fast you want to go.
This was the ad, not for sale ANY MORE THOUGH.
