You pay everytime you run at a sprint or khana.
If you only run one a year you only pay once.
If you run in fifteen events you pay fifteen times.

The last Club I was a member of was $99 a year about 3 years back.
The last sup regs a saw for an Eastern Creek supersprint was about $150 but they have gone up since then.

As soon as you start proper racing the real fees start to add up.
Licence.
Medical.
CAMS manual.
Fines. (these days you can't avoid them, they will get you for something even if it is being late to the drivers briefing)
Log book fees.
Car ownership transfer fees.
It never ends.
My last full season I gave CAMS more money than I spent in tyres.

I got as high as paying for an International licence to race at Bathurst in the early 90's. I had paid them about $500 in different costs when they suddenly decided to bring in a new licence called a Superlicence on top of the International licence. The cost for the extra licence was $500 for Production cars or $1000 for Touring cars.
I could have raced in F3 overseas with a CAMS international licence but to use it in Australia meant spending another $500 or $1000. Robbing pricks.

yeh they sure love there money im just as happy at doin motokahana and sprints as i would be "proper racin" as i have money left over afterwards

the authorities are discouraging legal motorsport, shutting down the drags and making motorsport too expensive.
look at the cost of insurance these days.

On quite a few occasions I was on the track with touring cars while I was in my HQ Holden, back in the days of Sierras and Skylines. On the other hand I was on the track in a Touring car while there were Formula Vees on the track.
One time at Oran Pk I was passed by a Formula Holden down the straight only to hit heavy rain at the end of the straight and pass him again through the esses.
The best of all was at Winton when they put us on the track with the 250cc Production bikes! The HQ was faster than them but the hard part is passing them.

plus wakefield park looks like a cracker of a circuit for minis.
what are the costs involved there?

I year licence is $40 I think, and practice costs you $80/day on track days.
May have gone up since, I've not been for a year or more.
Yes it's a great little track for Minis.
