Awesome work! There are guys who don't get that many awards in a lifetime of racing! Great job, I'm looking forward to next year!

So true, that is one amazing list of wins! I also know that funding this mostly out of pocket adds up seriously quick. I think I estimated once that each day of track driving cost $400-$500 to run my own car, always good to see sponsors helping where they can to showcase what a good combo of driving and parts can achieve.

Yep, all out of pocket. No sponsors paying my way here.

I tracked my costs this year. And just running TT it's more than the figure you put in above when you figure in towing costs. (Not counting upgrades; because they are well; needed!).... after entry fees, my biggest single cost was gas in towing TO the track. 4 trips to Mid-Ohio; 920 miles roundtrip @ 11mpg...

Gotta love it!

NASA usually has some decent contingency offers. I've really been hoping for some organization to get more media into some of these events. More media = more sponsors = me not going broke to keep the car running.

Great job Nathan.
