Quote: Some of you guys try to make it sound so easy to spend 10's of thousands of dollars on racing. Most of us as racers own our cars, do as much work on them as we can to save a buck, and go racing. We are not like dirt track racers and have teams helping financially like they do. My local dirt track (Lernerville) consists mostly of teams, people that never drive the car, and many never touch the car, but they pay to be part of "the team". Look at MY CAR out there going laps. Drag racing at the local level is not like that. We have a wife and house, and kids that hopefully come first. We are not cheap racers, we are budget racers. But we do race.
Great post, and my thoughts exactly when I posted earlier. It gets irritating when some of us who are not wealthy but NOT cheapskates without desire for innovaton either, get thrown in with the op's "98 percent".
