It's almost like classracer users want to engage with people who are actually interested in class racing. hmmm

I've got about 14k in my program (10 for the car and engine parts, 2 for engine assembly, and 2 for miscellaneous parts I had to acquire to get the car race ready. I already had a trailer and tools, which it sounds like this fellow does as well), for clarity. I'm not the fastest, but I'm under my index and far enough down in the alphabet that heads up runs are not something I'm worried about. Having an absolute blast and just started a year ago.
Entry fees are around $200 +/- $20 depending on which division you run in. Payout is not amazing for the price, around $2k to win with $100 per paying contingency sticker on the car at divisionals, $300 per sticker at nationals. I won a national event in S/G in 2023, was not stickered up great, and still cleared about $4500 (and a really awesome wally).
