Economy

For many I know going to the track at a regular bassis is out with the current down turn. At the same time, this expense was one of there most expensive fun things to do and could only do it because the money was a plenty in there pockets. The cost for "Us Islanders" getting off the Island into NJ for ethier RaceWay park/Englishtown or upper Jersey's Island drag way is an expensive day just to get there and hazardous crossing the city.

I never had it in my pocket to spend $150-$200 a weekend each weekend just to get out in the car and race. Local street racing here happens with hundreds of cars at a time in racer only meet loops. Cladistine meets are the norm. Or it "Will just happen" on the street. "A thing I can't do."

The car hobby of just simple meets is always strong. The market for such cars is always strong. The want to race is always strong. The places to race are questionable depending on where you live. The cost is what your pocket can handle.
