And I am SURE Pat has spent a lot more then he has won racing. Pat is a Great person and I have talked to him at the track before. We all have spent more then we will ever get in return building, maintaining, and Enjoying our cars. It is Good to be able to race for a Good payout but that isn't my #1 concern.
I look for a Good surface, Safe, and Nice track and then all the other stuff comes next. Total cost to attend, entry, payout, gambler races, and friends attending the race.

If it isn't enjoyable then it is just like going to your inlaws. LOL
