Why Aren't You Racing?

Barry,
I don't know how things are on the left coast, but here in the SOUTH:
A lot of Bracket races allow you to double enter the same car.
Have 2 rds of buy backs.
One of my Local tracks for example cost:
$35 to run Top e.t.
$40 each BB .
You can spend $115 to race.
The payout is $1200 w
$200 ru
$50 semi
The reason I go is its 4.3 miles from the house.

If you want to go run for big money:
Typical 5k race will be $75-$100 ef x2 because they will allow doubles
BB $50-$75 x 4(possibly because of double entry and 2 rds of BB)

I know most of you "Classy" racers look down your noses at bracket cars but I'll bet you my car cost as much as 75% of the class cars out there, maybe more. There are a lot of cars out there that are double what mine cost too.

I do both. I bracket race. I run IHRA races. I've owned Stockers, HR-SST, SR-SG, QR-SC
Cars and none of them are cheap.
