Re: Why Aren't You Racing?
Billy,I bet you still have some of that $5,500 left:>):>)
Someone said earlier "how bad do you want to race"?.I do what I have to do.First off I'm no spring chicken anymore (65).Reasonably good health.My car is low budget.I haul my car in an 18' enclosed that has all the amenities I need to stay at the track.Sleeping,cook
ing,entertainment,shower/toilet accommodations.I do it by leaving the car outside and covered.My truck is a1999 Dodge Dakota with a 5.2 (318) that gets from 9.5 to 11.00
mpg on plus grade gas.I just did Norwalk for $700(1K miles round trip).Englishtown for $340 (I live 5 miles from the track.Luckily I made round money at both.I also make racing money towing cars on the side,when the jobs are available.I don't have and wouldn't want a motor home or any of the big monstrosities at the track.I own all my stuff.I don't have to worry about any notes being called in or a repo co. tracking me down.And I enjoy myself with my circle of friends.Some races we suck at racing,but we eat well.
