Explaining to them you can start off cheap, and build up was the right thing. But it's also like going to a real car race where they have production cars...that 350Z in the SCCA runoffs cost over $150,000 but yet it's base on a 27K car.


Rick has some points as a racer, they will race everything. But this affects more than just the racer. The industry is 6-Cell based, and that should not change. Those "racecars" we are paid to drive around are paid for by the guys who never race. The day a person cannot BUY what they are racing is the day both sides suffer.
