The price of racing.

i am too lazy to deal with the corrosive effect attention that needs to be paid to running that stuff.
As i saw a guy mention on facebook who is a well known Mopar racer…..racing money should be disposable income you don't need to use on anything else. If the extra cost of fuel is enough to make ends not meet, maybe we shouldn't be doing it.
I agree with this, there was a time i spent every spare dime i had on racing. Was a very tough disease to overcome.
Now i have a set amount of money sat aside to my racing hobby each month. I cant spend a dime more than what that fund consists of. So i save for this, save for that, and peck away at what i want. This year it was heads, next year Dana. But i always keep enough set aside to race whenever i want to, that is the most important to me
Methanol is corrosive..... e85 (ethanol & gasoline), not so much.

I agree, make a racing budget for the year and stick with it. Once in a while I fail at this, but usually I make it work. I just like that using a cheaper fuel means my budget goes farther....and its a long term solution to the raising cost of racing, without having to cut back on the number of races I attend.
