I would say asphalt racing has a larger weekly cost just because of the amount of tires you will go through. I would say the chance of wrecking a dirt car and completely trashing 75-80% of your equipment is more likely than on asphalt, so you have to weigh that based on your budget. Also asphalt sprint car racing would require more travel time and less options on tracks if you are based near Indy. You can race almost 3 times a weekend and have 2-3 different options on Saturday all within 2 hours from Indy, if you go the dirt route. Whether you race dirt or pavement you will spend close to $60-75 every 1-2 weeks for oil and oil filter changes. Atleast $80 for fuel, another $80 for fuel for your truck. Then various costs for maintenance (bearings, seals, lubricants, towels, tearoffs). I know I am forgetting things because it seems like I spend a lot more than that lol. If any sprint car racing is out of your range, micro-sprints(dirt, but they have a senior class if you are 35 and usually you can compete for less in that class and your car would also be legal for non wing so you could run 2 classes with zero changes), legend cars is also a good option. Hope this helps
