That is the first thing I explain to them. I have been doing this a long time and have acumilated alot of equipment over time.
Occasionally I'll show up to track with bare essentials and show them you dont need them.
I got rid of the 2 turbo chargers I had and big power supply. I traded 2 lrp comp chargers for the turbo chargers and bought a 14 amp power supply from ebay for 19 dollars. I do well here in the florida state series. I am 12 scale champion. You dont need dynos and fancy lap tops to be competitive. You make it as expensive as you want!
