As much as I enjoy drag racing, I can't afford to do it unless I can win sometimes. I thank God I can be competitive, even as I get older, but the purses are often a deciding factor in attending some events. I can't and don't win all the time. But if I can't expect to even break even if I win an event, it's simply not practical to go.

I'm not racing to get rich. I'd be better off picking up loose change off the streets if that was the case. But its hard to justify hauling my car 3-4 hours to an event thats not paying any better that my local track 20 minutes away.
