I was considering running Turkey Night this year after skipping the whole 2010/2011 seasons with both my dirt and pavement cars. I put together a rough budget to share with the board to highlight the average owner's problem with the current state of affairs. The cars are bought and paid for so lets leave big motors/titanium/transporters out of the equasion for now. The model is 3 people travelling from Albuquerque to Irwindale to run the Weds. practice and the race. I know that the tire bill will raise some questions but this is in fact what it takes to keep up with the Jones's! This uses the USAC 2 right side rule.
Fuel=1560 mi./13mpgx3.70 per gal.=$444
lodging 2 rooms 2 nights=$300

methanol (30 gal)=$150

TIRES!
