I'm gonna save some money for a carb and try to come later in the year. He raced a mod at the Bowl and pavement now and in the past. It went down again when I went to pavement.Īsk Marc Madison. My guess is, if I were in an asphalt mod, my operating cost would still be cheaper than on dirt due to less wear on the car from track conditions and the overall cleaner (read: less contact) racing I've exeperience and witnessed at the asphalt track.ġstlight my expenses went down when I went from a SS at the Bowl to a mod at T-bird. And our car counts have suffered since the last of last season and after the 1st race of the year, so the body has held up pretty well. And I can run pump gas or a pump gas, 98 octane mix. True, I'm in a class that has a very hard compound tire, so that cost is almost negated. On dirt, I expected to replace some suspension component (usually a ball joint) quite often due to track roughness in my Lt Mdl, replaced RR tire a lot, LR not as often, RF lasted twice as long as the RR, and LF would last a looooong time body panels either were straightened out or replaced weekly (beating and banging attributed to rough drivers and/or the higher car counts than I've experienced at most asphalt races) car wash bill on the way home So not exactly an apples to apples comparison. So far, just 1 class (Thunder Roadster) on pavement.

Raced in 3 different classes (Street Stock, Limited Late Model, and Limited Mod) on Dirt.
