I've met a couple racers from San Diego Roadster Club, and will be joining Land Speed Racers. I've done my homework and already know about the fees. Been to El Mirage which is only a 73 mile tow for me. The overall costs won't be much different than racing in stock...at least mine. It also puts me in the seat longer....more bang for my buck. I can still afford to run the stocker...but why continue a losing battle? I can't even get a class Wally now unless I travel now or have to out run other classed cars. Not worth it anymore. Stocker will be converted to D/PRO with only a cage and some minor suspension changes. The rest of the work is no different.....except no trips to the barn.
