I haven't seen that many videos that share this information so I thought I would share for anyone interested. There is also a spreadsheet of my costs in the description of the video

Welcome to GRM.  I see that you did 4 weekends and all but one of this weekends were a 2 day event.  

Did you travel back home every night?  I see you have no hotel or camping costs.

Hello John, I knew someone would ask about this! The event that was a just 1 day (Thunderhill 4/14/18) fuel there and back was account for. And as far as the two day events go at Sonoma Raceway, I took my truck back home on Saturday night each of those weekends and slept at my house. It's definitely a cost saver living 30 Minutes from the track.laugh I know most people don't have this luxury but I decided to keep the video consistent and just list what MY costs were. Thank you for the comment.

Your experience is very different from mine, where is the cost of blown motors, rolled cars, speeding tickets...

The video had such a chill vibe that it reminded me of Mr. Rogers laugh

Nice video!  I was originally only going to check out the spreadsheet but when I clicked the link and saw the video was only ~3 minutes long I stuck around for it.  Thanks for not making this a 30 minute video!

In reply to pinchvalve :

Yup thats why I was happy with last years results, also I said it could cost 5400 next year OR MORE, emphasizing or more for things like that.

Thanks for taking a look, I try to make the videos appeal to people with short attention spans like mine. Seems to be a format that works well. Cant stand having to scrub through a 20 minute video to find the bit of info im looking for.
