If you can maintain your own brakes those costs are parts vs. parts and labor.
EOD Driver's school is way more expensive than the fee.

That's nice, I do my own labor so my operating costs are as cheap as I can find parts for. Other stuff wears somewhat, but varies from car to car. For example: my strut towers don't implode on their own. If yours do, sorry to hear about that. Folks are blowing track based wear and tear way out of the water. More than the fee, sure, but it's not going to be 2 grand a weekend. Also, staying in a 5 star accomodation in fucking SPARTANBURG isn't quite a selling point on the cost for me. I wasn't born with a silver spoon up my ass, if it's got a good bed, is clean, and the AC works, it's a quality hotel. Accomodation quality in that town as a perk? Really? Hahahaha. Price is a total joke unless you get coverage for the car you're driving (within reasonable limits of responsibility) as part of it. And I would never be comfortable signing up knowing that it's my ass by default unless they decide to be benevolent and give me a pass.
