Compared to Auto racing, minigp racing is super affordable.. $2k for the bike, and parts are cheap, a replacement carb was $60.

$600/year for a full practice membership, which means I can show up to the track any day of the week, and just race.. Except race event weekends. But even after 6 sessions you get your money back, since daily practice passes are $75/day + tax.. No to mention tires are only $250 a set and they last way longer than any other vehicle/larger motorcycle.

The initial cost is quite high in the beginning but after a few years, you'll just be paying for memberships and tires.

I'm super hooked into it right now, having an absolute blast.. I will be out there next weekend rain or shine.. Lukily when I bought my bike used it came with 2 sets of rims, slicks and rains. I had to swap the slicks as the category i'm racing doesn't allow them.
