I hate the direction racing is heading

At least at some of these races. Buy one entry for 400.00 and get another one free. Buybacks first round 125.00. Buyback second round 100.00. It’s not about being the best racer anymore. It’s about being young enough to double enter all weekend and have lots of money in your pocket. For guys that have never driven 200-500 miles to a race and be at the track for four days you will never understand how just one race entry takes being in good condition. Then there’s the drive home. Warming up your car at 7am and racing going on till 2-4am. I love it but even if you don’t race both entries you are up and ready all day long.
I have never raced for one main reason.
I can’t get myself to pay a bunch of money to possibly break my car 100’s of miles from home.
I do drive it 100’s of miles at times to visit out of state family and such though.
Also wouldn’t mind following along on some of the race week or like events just for the drive and spectating.
