my 2 cents from down here .
The commited racer will race effectively no matter the fuel cost .
I wish i was paying $4-5 a gallon . Last month i drove to a national event , 12hrs just over 600 miles each way .
98 pump gas averaged $2.35/L that = $9.40 a US gallon . My Satellite gets 10.5mpg on the highway .
Did i groan , yep . But it didnt stop me going .
And winning a xmas tree , class , and top qualifying took all the wallet pain away .
Only downside was shearing trans oil pump drive lugs a 100 miles from home .
We have not many tracks and a long way between . That trip is about the closest away track i run . December was 15hrs .
