1/8 mile track is 50 miles away. Brainerd is 100 miles away. Rockfalls is 130 miles away. 3 decent tracks, and not much interest in driving further, when diesel prices are so high. I like racing near home so family and friends can come as well.
I opted out of a race 4 hours away a couple of weekends ago mainly because of diesel prices. It just didn't make sense to spend $350.00 to win a $20 trophy. Last year they paid $500 to win my class but it got rained out and, for some reason, no payouts this year despite really good attendance.
