Isn't it six of one, half a dozen of another?

I don't want to highjack this thread, but I have always said the same thing as Jonr. What is the difference between getting sponsors and taking that money to run a car versus just having the money and wanting to run a car? Not many rides out there available without bringing funding, especially in midgets. I don't think its a bad thing, I just hate when people talk of drivers "buying" rides. Even people who own there own cars don't race for free! They are spending their own money or sponsors money so in essence they have "bought" their ride.
kstudley is right on with cost. Figure about $3K with own car or about $7K for a "rental". Neither includes damages.
