This is a great thread! Lets talk about how much money the shops make. Does anyone pay retail for kits? If you do your stupid but thats another story.lol Most shops only make $20-30 per kit. Thats just for the kit. But they do make 40 or 50% on parts usually. I do mean usually because everyone gives 10% off if you race or should. Now lets say that part cost $2.00 and is sold for $3.99. How many kits and parts do you have to sell in a week just to make payroll? Get the picture? There isn't any majic answers. All we can hope is there are enough dedicated people to keep this hobby going.
