Its the cost of racing thats gonna kill the sportsman, purses never change, we have to fight to get our contingency, entry fees go up, fuel, bigger trailer , r/v etc.
Its very hard to go backwards or downsize once you have a rv and "required" perks etc.
Gotta give Michael Beard a lot of credit, keeps a heavy race schedule, uses pickup & trailer, keeps costs down. I miss the days when I had my van and open trailer, going to a race was just getting in the van and go. Tougher today.
