We estimate about $20-25/mile for gas/tires/maintenance items. This is not upgrades or amortizing some major repair, rebuild, entry fees, traveling, etc. Just the cost to run car.

Well, maybe in Oklahoma it's ya'll.
But I was raised in Virginia, where we were learned how to spell.

Now you are depressing me. Our local race track is permanently closing in a few weeks to expand a landfill (stupid politicians) and the closest tracks are 3+ hours, 6+ hours, and 10+ hours drive away. Sure I could risk driving my car to these tracks, but if I have any sort of incident at the track where the car can not be driven home on it's own power I am screwed. So you need a trailer and a powerful enough truck to tow the trailer with your car.
1) porsche's don't break down
2) If they have an issue, no one leaves a buddy behind
3) if you KNOW you have to drive to/at and home from an event, you might just learn to drive better

I've lived trailer free for decades now but have no issues with 1-2-4-8+ hour drives. Live confidently!
As to the OP, we all know you aren't supposed to "add up" receipts... Shame on you!

My odometer does not work. So I have no idea how many "miles" I have on my race car. I do track each session on track and probably could estimate miles, but why bother.
BTW... 10k can get you a turn key 944 spec race car.
