I am with Tel on this one you dont have to spend shit loads to have a good weekend. I get new tyres for each class at nationals and I have wet tyres in my box which will last most the year as if its wet they dont wear. I got my LIPOs for Xmas and my brushless motors are still as strong as ever. May get another motor as I may need a milder one. The tyres from the nationals will be used for the regionals so it shouldnt cost me much hopefully. So I think
£300 should see me right.
I think there should be a cap on the amount of tyres used in a national to keep the costs down one set a day.

My sister if the fundings, we take her to market, she is seen by the men (but not the Uzbekistans - we spit at their penis). They pay for day. This pays for all the things, and the travells and the egg.

She is messy, but we are of thinking that it is like a thing that she will still doing when there is money.

I'd say your close to 3k if you do nationals and keep your equipment up to date. But saying that if you camp over and restrict tyre usage you could do a season for a 1/3rd of that, maybe

Ian, thats about right.
Fuel 'to and fro' probably comes to £500 by the end of the season.

The first option should be 'up to £1000 i use my older gear and just plod along'

I rekon I get through that - and I am well known for being tight.

I think its very easily done to spend a lot. Every year, you need either cells or motors or both, i think tyres are probably the biggest expense for me along with fuel but it really doesn't bother me because i have a laugh
