I too, contemplated this sharing thing a couple of years ago. The general
consensus was that you charge what it costs to replace one tire for a one day
event and two tires for a two day event (Nationals). I think that this is way
too simplified. For one , is the car being raced on asphalt or concrete?
Secondly, is the car aa B-mod car or is it a Honda Civic in Stock class.? In
other words , the likelihood of breaking something and what it costs when it
does break. Food for thought..............

This is probably as interesting as asking someone how much money they
make;-) I shared a car with someone for a while one season. This was a
case where we were (and still are) good friends and the other driver felt
confident that I would treat his car like it was my own. Also he wanted me
to drive the car just so he'd have a bench mark to look at. (He usually
beats me but wanted to see by how much) Anyway, we had a an understanding
that if someone bad happened I would step up to plate and help out. That
part was really fuzzy but we are friends. In addition, I gave him $50/event
to drive the car just to cover tires and a little wear and tear. I think I
got the best of the deal but I'd be willing to do the same for him if the
roles were reversed. Now if this was just a business arrangement then all
bets are off. I'd also like to hear any other "stories" about this subject.
