And
i did put my 1995 impala ss on the autotrain in lorton va and ran stock at bradenton proam and nitrojam in 2014. From sandford fl. Drove the car to the race put my racing tires on and competed. Raced ecirs since 2001 and stock since 2010 and drove it to all the races. After the race, back to street tires, pack and drive home.
Anyone who knows me can validate this is what i did to compete.

Only last year started using a trailer. Towing with a 1994 cusomized caprice wagon and featherlight trailer. From germantown md ran at empire two weekends row. Ihra and ecirs meets. Later competed another ecirs event at lebanon valley. Also ran several times at island dragway, cecil, mason dixon. Ran ihra meets at richmond, mir, pittsburgh. Then end of year ran tristate s/ss meet and came runner up.

Just learned that i can put my both cars and trailer on the autotrain.
Round trip costs about the same as driving, motel and food.
Think about it? Division 2 and division 1 races in same year. Less snow.

I race in two series almost won the ecirs championship. Lost championship by 12 points after winning 6 races in a row. Can run the ecsss and tristate except for time and schedules.

Drag racing is not my only passion. Also a certified soccer referee and work tournaments and weekend games. Last year ran 75 games. So got a busy schedule.
Oh did i mention i own an it company? 23 years in business.

So yes i guess i am rich!
Have three great kids, ok wife and former, wonderful friends, healthy, at 65 can still chase down a teenager, love my job and drag racing.

But you are rich too james !
Because i bet you are just as dedicated a racer and family guy as me!
