Message	Kinda like this, amazing how safety equipment adds up. The car was $400, cage, seats, harness, tires, replacement parts etc etc total price around $5000. We are running it again in October Lemon's race, our first time we made a lot of mistakes, we broke a few things, but I think the team will do a lot better this time around.
