I got asked what I would charge for a co-drive at Nationals. Not sure I want a co-drive but what is the going rate on a trophy car?

It helps if you have a car that can trophy first. What will you be driving that week? :wink:Quote:

As usual, you are completely useless and have a gift for the obvious.
Thanks Princess, I love you too! ::Bleh::
My arrangement with co-driver's was that they pay my entry fees and half my tire costs (tire purchase, shaving, mounting). For long distance trips we also split travel and hotel costs 50-50, and used my trailer and his truck, but that may not apply if you don't live near each other.
I'll give ya two fiddy. ;)

I forget what I charged but I think it was about $300 in my miata. It was 1/2 a set of tires. In return it was a miata with brand new sticker 710s that was set up and could get in the top 5 and possibly top 3.
I figured since I was driving up there anyway it wasn't a huge deal. I'd say splitting cost on tires is adequate. On the mini that's probably closer to $450.
IF you were splitting the driving up there then I'd split hotel and fuel costs as well. That's a deal for both of you that way.
Maybe thats why they wanna drive Ken's car? Less intimidating......then step up to a car like Jeff Schadt has but......oh wait....same car....nevermind ;)
