So now that the Mustang is on track what's the total dollar amount?

As this was a budget build (budget by vintage big bore car standards) I am really curious...............granted I will probably faint but I still want to know.

Wish I was there.
 

There's also a CFR-SCCA autocross and track sprint there tomorrow for me to miss. 
 

I'll be getting some continuing education hours this weekend.
