2) How much will race fees run? Is it possible to work some NASA events to pay for these events like it is with HPDE's? (I don't think so, but wanted to ask)
3) How much should I expect to pay to get licensed?
4) Are any of you sponsored? If so, would you mind detailing the process of building relationships with sponsors? If you prefer, you can relay this information via email or PM...

Jim has answered some of these questions in our string of emails, but I wanted to see if anyone else has done this. I am very new to the whole process, and am trying to figure out how much I will spend per year on my obsession. This is especially important since I'm married! Thanks in advance for the help.
