I have to agree with everyone that says we (most of us anyway) aren't racing to make money.

That said, when the payouts were better and the cost was lower I made 400-500 passes a year and paid most of my expenses with winnings.

A few years I might have actually come out a little ahead.

Last year I made 13 and so far this year 9.

I don't see it getting any better but I'm not crying in my beer or planning to quit just yet. I realize how lucky I am to be able to do this.

BTW Al, wifey says MATS race next year or divorce imminent!
