For a 2 day DE

- $250-400 entry fee (non-instructor) depending on club

Other consumables are pretty cheap: (again over 2 days)
- $100 RA-1 ($700/set, good for 14 days give or take)
- $60 brake pads (can vary a lot. Pagid Yellows $500/set, good for 12-14 days)
- $100 gas (almost a tank a day, my car gives me 8 mpg, and uses 1/4 tank per session on average...)

You also have to add cost of accommodation. $60-200 hotel, half that if sharing. The low end is if you stay in Winchester for Sat night only during a Summit Point weekend. The high end is if you stay 2 nights at the VIR lodge.

There are also additional maintenance costs. Oil changes and brake fluid are pretty cheap, plus the occasionally torn CV boots.

So $500/weekend is pretty standard. Ouch.
