Exactly. It's easy to tell the real racers from the pretenders around here.
your perspicacity is formidable. we are fortunate to be in your presence.
See guys like you all of the time. Pay the 70 bucks or get another hobby.
suppose you tell me what kind of guy i am?
The kind that argue about paying 70 bucks every two years as part of the cost or racing. Real racers just write the check. Don't mean to step on anyone's toes but that's the way it is with the guys who visit my trailer.
i'm getting old. i'm trying to remember when i complained about the seatbelt thing. i'm sure i did. i know i complained about the dipstick tube b.s.. that was the "straw". i guess i'm not a "real" racer, like you. this family man can't quite justify the expenditure anymore. fwiw, i'd rather be a "real" father/husband, than a "real" racer like you. i'm solely responsible for my racing endeavors. i build the engines, the transmissions, the rear ends. i built the cage. i tubbed it. i do the wiring. i pay for fuel. entry fees. nhra "membership". oil. tires. when something breaks, i pay for it. everything. sponsorship? i got a set of tires once. sounds like a "real" racer, doesn't it?
Sounds like someone who doesn't mind paying 70 bucks every two years. Also, it's been the rule for a long time. Maybe you should have thought of that before you built all of that stuff. BTW I pay most of the bills too. We have a couple of product sponsors but that's it. I tend to come off like an a hole from time to time. That may well be because I am an A hole but the belt rule keeps coming up on this site. I just don't know why. It's less than a hundred bucks, it's every two years, everyone knows this and it isn't going away. If it keeps you from racing you might not be a real racer.
