Every penny of the car, truck, and trailer is paid for. Gets good mileage, can park anywhere, no hassles, etc., so I can afford to race. I had more than one guy come up to me at Michigan this weekend, surprised that I didn't have a huge rig, since they "see me in all the magazines". They expressed their appreciation for doing it the way I do.

Nice looking operation Mike! Yours is what X-Tech Man is talking about. If more of us would haul our cars like you do, then there would be more space in the pits for more racer operations. Although I don't have the full size truck like you do, my Colorado has hauled my car from Denver to Brainerd, and from Phoenix to Bakersfield, and several places inbetween both locales. Moreover, if my initial neighbors at this years Tucson divisional would've had a smaller rig, then they wouldn't have needed to park their car so close to the line separating my pit spot from theirs. Thus when the guys wife opened his right side door to help back up their car, it wouldn't have come across my fender like it did (thank GOD for the molding on my car that kept their door from trading paint with mine! I'm glad he apologized to me for her, because she didn't even have the decency to say she was sorry for her oversight...pit spaces are only so big, but racer rigs are getting larger and larger all of the time...forget the pro's squeezing us out of big races, those big rigs are doing enough of it themselves already!
