There's a sub class for 25, "cash in envelope." $2,000 max. No recouped. No games.

I'm actually OK with recouped costs. With the Datsun I've actually sold $7145 in parts. 

I keep track of every penny on a spread sheet. I have $9700 in the car after 39 years.

Also, we have done a track day at the firm immediately following the challenge the last couple years, and in my opinion not nearly enough people take this opportunity for one of the best track days all year. 

Lmp360 and fdat both recorded 1:22-1:23ish laps (and I'm selfishly confident they could both be faster), and I know other challenge cars have been above the bottom of this list as well. So if you want to see how your challenge car stacks up on track, the challenge is the right place for that as well!

We're doing it again this year! Come one, come all, prove your $5000 track car is awesome!

It's 1090 from where I am sitting and worth the time off from work.

How much weight can a C5 lose?

I've heard people with them in the 2600lb range. Full bodied track car with (presumably) a cage.

With an iron block in that one. Plus two seats and a fairly extensive steel frame added plus whatever that huge Mr fusion thing is in the back. You can do better.
