Chris L,
Ya forgot ya buddy, 'The Brad', Mr. Plourd.
Should we consider the Butner camp? He has another visible means of support though and goes to a lot of races. Same for some of these guys.

We have Bertozzi, Emmons, Adkinson, Hill, Cotten, Phillips, and all of the other retired ones that fall into the same category, Who else?

When I did it, life and time and cost's were a lot easier to deal with.

What most don't know is that the dream of doing this for a living is actually a living nightmare, I've been there and done that ! Ask Dan F and Mark F, lot's of stories !!

Today with the entry costs and diesel and all the travel time, it's that crazy !! Don't forget about the liability of just pulling out of the driveway.

Please give some respect for the guy that goes out there by himself with all of the equipment necessary to compete week in and week out with a class car, no less, and you'll understand why there are less than a handful doing it. Now that the contingency has decreased it only makes it worse! Times have changed people ??

Jok, do it now and then you can report the facts, give it a try eh ???
