If I go to VIR or Beaverun, fuel costs me more than $200 for a 2 day weekend. Pulling a full 6x12 trailer with 2-3 bikes and grear gets me about 10 miles per gallon on the highway.
My Durango is a pig on fuel and so are my bikes. The TLR takes a full tank and most of a 5 gallon gas can per track day. The TZ250 isn't much better on fuel economy and the C12 care fuel is about $13.00 per gallon with the 2 stroke oil additive.
Food? Always subjective to what or where you eat, but $100 is definitely eating on the cheap for a 2 day track weekend. To each their own. I look at the road trips as mini-vacations. I go out to eat in the evening with the guys/gals and have a few cocktails and some laughs. Makes for a better weekend than holing up ni the motel with a six-pack and a bag of Dorito's for dinner.
