Racing has never made "financial sense" anyway in my opinion. From go karts to F1 it isn't going to be a money making business, you just have to love it. Some are willing to spend anything to get an edge, especially in these days of nearly equal equipment. Like last night at TSS with 17 cars @ probably 10 or so with legitimate equipment to win. Reminds me of a go kart racer several years ago. They had a crew cab dually, lowered with custom wheels, 24 ft enclosed air conditioned trailer, 2 custom painted karts, about 50 wheels/tires, 3or4 motors, 3or4 custom driver suits @ 2or3 custom Simpson helmets. This kid ran Jr. Karts, unbelievable. Probably a $75,000 investment to run JR. KARTS on a dirt track for trophies.
