Why Aren't You Racing?

Legend, you are right. If you live in North Carolina you can be at a drag strip within an hour drive from most locations. And if you really want to race you will race what ever event is going on at the track near you and it is every week-end. Most are $35 or $40 with one buy back either first or second round. Make a couple of rounds and you at least get your entry fee back beyond that you are to the good.

Beard, you don't have to have the big motor home with the portable garage and machine shop to have a good time racing. Granted it is not always perfect see the attached photograph. This was Thursday Night at Virginia Motorsports park before Pinks. I rained almost 5" in an hour. Once the storm was gone everyone was out wading in Virginia lake and laughing about the weather

Plain and simple, for me it's the current state of the economy. Could we go to more races.... yes however we've begun to be more frugal in when and where we go. Hopefully we will all crawl out of this current economic down turn and get back to the way things were, but that's not going to happen over nite. Joe

With the price of gold at $1200.00/oz. the creek is way more profitable for me than drag racing. Right now anyway.
