I support vintage cars in SVRA, HSR, etc. It's insane how much money it costs to go racing at that level. Event fees with a test day are touching $2k and a garage rental at places like COTA are $2500. You're over $4k and you haven't left the house, prepped the car, bought tires, fuel, brakes, paid the crew, hotels, meals, etc.
You can have 80% of the fun of wheel to wheel at a track day for 10% of the cost of a top tier vintage weekend.
