Racing is as expensive as YOU choose to make it. Nobody is twisting your arm to build a car that requires lots of safety gear to be inspected, or fast enough to require a comp license to drive it, or have the cage certed. That is a choice YOU make. License, safety gear, all that stuff was in place BEFORE anybody elected to build the car they built. You knew it going in and NOW complain about it. You want to do it on the cheap? Build a slow beater that requires little to no safety gear, run it at any number of small outlaw tracks that check NOTHING and will even let you get by with shorts and a t-shirt.

Kinda like buying an exotic sports car and then complaining the insurance and fuel is too expensive.......didn't you know that going in?
