Monte my experience is the cost to keep up with most classes is the expensive part. Also a bracket car can use maybe 2 sets of slicks a year most. A heads up car you might get 2 races before they start to go away. Rhodes car is a pretty tricky piece crawl under that thing it will amaze you all subtle things. He does his own stuff only costs him his time. Tony does the engine program for him I'm sure that is a pretty tricky setup
