Im with a few guys on here, I race for fun and to be with my friends, the day I have to race for money ill be quitting.

Mark Different strokes for different folks.
In 1979 we left for the World Finals in Ontario California. Between the 3 of us we had $287 in cash, no credit cards or checks, or any other way of getting money.
Except the 1970 Dodge Challenger convertible. We stopped at some tracks on the way across the country. To make some money. Back then there were stock superstock races all over. And usually if you got past first round you broke even.
At the York US 30 National Invitational in about 1975 or 76. We won the quarter finals guaranteing a pay out . We had a total of 8.00 left (to use for gas and tolls to get home)
We had nothing to eat except a bag of chips that day so we bought a bunch of food at the concession stand. Late that night we won the race. But were paid by check. And the next day was Memorial Day and no banks were open. We had to spend the day at the track alone with nothing to eat till Tuesday morning.
That was the dedication we had to race. Very few racers went through what we did, Most of todays racers grew up with silverspoons in their mouths. I don't hold it against them. But please don't tell me how important money should be to me.
