HAHAHAHAHAHAHA...... I'm sorry.... but I've been watching these events - helping at these events - hauled cars to these events.... pimped people to go to these events... I love the people that put them on... and those that participate. It's ALL good car stuff. But then.... I go drive my track cars at a track event.

Yesterday I was prepping one of them for Laguna Seca - after I took the tire rubber off with Mothers 3R (racing rubber remover) - I then got the buffer out to clean up the paint a bit more behind the rear wheels. The whole time I'm cleaning and going over the car with the Adams detailer - I'm thinking to myself - man this car looks great for a race car. I'm pretty sure I paid less for it in total, than some of the cars owners that run these events paid for their paint jobs. So that "what it cost" argument just kills me. Really? Some people pay 4 to 6 grand just for their wheels... and we're discussing what it costs to run your car for a weekend on some of the most famous race tracks in the country?? LOL

Does anyone that runs ANY event ever think about the cost of blowing a motor? A tranny? A rear end? Chewing up a nice set of tires? Oh - how about an off track - or eating a wall?

If 4 or 500 bucks is killing you.... better find a new hobby.
