My point is purely not to be hypocritical. Telling people in a condesending manner to take it to the track when knowing NOTHING of other places and how much it costs to "take it to the track" hits home with me. That and saying that his car got wrecked so it's a good reason to take it to the track. I don't involve myself in organized street racing, but if I get the chance, I will engage in a quick run with another car. Doesn't usually last more than a few seconds, and is certainly not any more dangerous than "driving it like I have a pair"
Moorhead - 3 1/2hrs $40, a few runs.
Brainard International Raceway - 3 1/2hrs $140, 2-3 runs.
Rock Falls - 3hrs $80, 2-3 runs.
Those prices and chances to run are real here. I do NOT have $100-$200 to spend on gas, food, race fees, and other expenses. That's one long *** day should I decide not to spend the night, too. All for 2, maybe 3 runs.
I find it extremely ironic that you would bring up safety equipment, Chris. After all, you're the same person adamant against helmets being of any use on a motorcycle. Not much else required for most near stock cars at the track, and I fail to see how a helmets use in a car is any more or even equally effective than on a bike.
