A weekend of kart racing for me runs:

Entry fees $200
Tires $200
Engine parts $100 minimum
Race fuel and oil $100
Fuel to the track $100+

So there's $700 before anything more than basic maintenance. Costs were usually closer to $1000 because there always seems to be something that wore out or broke from the previous race weekend.


As far as tire pressures, we run 7 to 9 psi cold although that's on a big track in hot weather.
