Why Aren't You Racing?

Billy Nees · 07-02-2010, 05:50 PM

I won my first points race in 1986. It cost me $60 to enter and I made almost $5000 (in Super Street). Today It costs me $170 to get in the gate and if I win the race I can't make $2300 (in Stock)! I've heard all the stories about how everyones expenses have increased BUT (Beaver Bob's words) put the pen to paper! I'm spending 3 times the entry for 1/2 the earnings IF I win. I just can't keep from feeling like someone is laughing their a** off and wondering just how stupid I really am. That is why I've been sticking close to my local track, racing a car that I can't possibly take seriously and trying to learn how to have FUN again!
