I've been road racing three times. My El Camino has been on the road course once. I went out four times that day and put over 110 miles on the track. The nearest track is a 140 mile drive and there are a limited number of times during the spring, summer, and fall when there are open track days. I'm shooting for three this year. There are several factors that make it very hard to attend more than a couple events a year for me. Getting time off work. The weather. Racing on a wet track has no appeal whatsoever for me. The cost. $160.00 on up just to enter plus fuel (lot's of it). But it's a blast! If I had to do it all over again, I'd choose a career in racing.
