I like bringing a car but I also like to wander around the pits and see old friends as well. I haven't raced much at all in the last 7 or 8 years and I am ready to get back at it. I haven't had time to get my jeep out so I might have to get that beater on the track if I don't get this car back together quick enough.

Going to a local track without me racing, is like going to a restaurant and watching everyone else eat!
If you like drag racing, support your local track.

I have to say I love racing too much to be a spectator. I have broke my car before and raced my tow vehicle , just to be racing.
I did go to the track once to drive a buddies car . I was there but he didn't show up with the car. It was like I was all dressed up and no date for the prom.

More seriously,
The cost is what causes most racers to stop racing their own car and going to help others, or just dropping out altogether.
They still love racing, but they may not have the money to do it as much as they like, or at all.

Jim you just explained why I hardly ever post anymore and don't foresee racing again for at least two years? I would have to be dragged to the track to watch.
