And only one blown engine. I have a friend here, with an 04 GSXR, bone stock, won appx. 20+ features and has 80+ race nights on the motor and still going strong. I have 30 nights on my stock R1, and still going strong. If our class ends up needing $10K motors to run, then I too will switch to another class. Cannot afford that. You guys out in the midwest , could have huge car counts, if ALL the clubs had the same rules. Too bad that is not likley to happen. Just my 2 cents....from Colorado.
When they get gasoline down to $2.00 a gallon and the purse up to $2000,00 to win we will travel. As long as we are a support class there is not too much incentive to travel. The rules are getting closser all the time, but why spend $500.00 in gasoline to race for a support purse.
