I started in 1974, my dream was to run Modified Production some day, then that plan was changed to Super Stock...I did run S/ST from '93 to 2002, cost to payback ratio sent me back to brackets. I couldn't imagine doing it today, entry fee $200 and payout the same as 1993??? And the contingency payouts are a fraction of what they used to be.

Now we have seatbelts every 2 years, next year a new helmet (snell 2000 no good), $7.50 racing gas...I can hang a few more years, I guess...
