that leaves you with $100 bucks in your pocket, but wait, you should cut that back some because you'll be going through brake pads and brake fluid and another set of tires or two by then.
Yup, that pretty much covers it. And you are right about the brake pads, $100 barely covers the Super Blue brake fluid, need to budget $250/set of pads; at least a couple of sets per season.

And guess what, my car keeps getting faster and faster after each time at the track ...

I wish I had $7K, I would be signing up more often for track time ...
