Is it a racer who runs tires that are a year old and has who knows, what kind of heat cycles they have been through? Does resources factor in as well (as far as being able to build/ fix parts)? I think there are alot of what people consider low income racers, but then there are ALOT of people that are way below low income racers who struggle to get by every week and get no recognition and probably shouldnt even be in the sport since they cant afford it. However they keep plugging away hoping they get that one opportunity or break. This is just my opinion.
