hell i even work on my car during break at work....it's addictive.
as long as i have been in racing, its a hobby to some and a sport to others, motorcycle racing was a hobby for me, karting is a sport to me. I personally like karting better. We actually used to run a small track, and it took a little less than $2000 a year, because we used to have a local guy who kinda brought a small shop with him so we didn't have to stock anything, we have already gotten permission to use the lights, utilities, and lease was fairly cheap. It wasn't bad at all, and a good time, but its hard to keep that many forms of racing going at once.
