LOL. That was just batteries. We ran cap tires at $50 per set and needed at least 2 sets per class for a big race. Motors were $50ish with sponsor discounts and we were cutting coms every run so they didn't last. Nevermind about all the other parts and consumables! These are 1988-1990 dollars to. Adjust that crap for inflation.
