Do any of you guys/gals have young children in competition extracurricular activities? If you think racing is expensive try competition dance with 2 girls. Entry fees for solo's are around $85 and the only payout is if you win first overall, usually 30-40 dancers, and that money goes back to the studio. Then there are entry fees for duo's, trio's, and all the group dances. Your child could be dancing in 12-13 separate dances. Add the cost of costumes for each dance, private lessons, tuition and the nationals usually require travel also for the whole family. At least at a points meet you have a chance of winning something. My shop neighbor competes in the Trans-Am series with a $100,000 + car, he went to Wisconsin a couple of weekends ago, placed 4th and won $0.00, they do comp the fuel though! lol, drag racing is not so bad.
