Why Aren't You Racing?

Do you think maybe racers finally have had a slap in the face about what racing actually cost.
I had to sale my dragster. I loved it. It was a life long dream to have one, and we won money with it. THat being said I could'nt keep it. I've raced a good bit this year because I have a gold card. I've also bracket raced more this year too. I still say it cost more to run brackets than class race. We can debate that anytime.
Beard and I are lucky we live in NC and can race cheaper than most, because of the close proximity of the races.
I still say if you want to go bad enough skip applebees meal and eat out the cooler. Make your crew pay their own way or stay home(why do you need crew for a fwd stocker)??????????????? Sleep at the track. Thats some of the things I do so I can still go racing. That being said I'm still racing week by week. If I win some money I go next week if I don't I stay home and work until I can go again.
