And of course like the rest of the sport sometimes there is a lot of cash that needs to be rounded up, not only for the car but for the trip.
Money wise, it's 5 trips in one. We have to drive 1230 miles one way just to get to Atlanta Dragway this year. That is a 2 day drive, then each day once the event starts you need a hotel room every night, and it's not like these cars get 40+mpg going to the next track. And after all that is done, we have another 1230 miles to get back home. Even as a Trunk Monkey, it flat out wears you out, and you need a couple days just to recover from the event itself, but I told Joel, as long as he goes, I will NOT miss being his Trunk Monkey.
