@ JOYRIDE ...
Indeed RACING is not cheap but we have to acknowledge also that we can build a race car for certain autosports that is as competitive as the " PAMBATO " of the crowd .
Ive seen time attack Civic with only $ 5,000 of upgrades from ground up and came in first .
Ive seen a drifting machine with barely $ 3,000 of upgrades and came in first in a local competition .
Now these 2 examples competed with cars that was built that spent probably thrice more than the value of the car and mind you these cars are priced like in the $ 30 to 50 grand an average .
My only point is MONEY HELPS but is not an ISSUE at all .
