Dear Lord. Say it ain't so...
Mortgage your house for 24 hours of fuel in that beast!
Hey what, I'm suppling the car, you bastards supply the fuel.


In all honesty, I think that the idea to run the 24hr wasn't thought through too well, just doing the figures $5400 for (6)drivers, 2 x helpers(refuelling, mechanical, coffee makers etc $1600.
Fuel and oils $1000, cost of car $999, cost of prep 4,000, tow it to NSW, accommodation, meals and odds and sods for 5 days $2000. total $15,000 divided between 6 drivers $2500. Lot of money if anything goes wrong in the first lap


Think I'll just do the National if I'm all sorted and the car is right as I have sponsorship to do the Nationals.
