Timothy Culp getting out of racing?

[Highside Hustler25]

IMO racing is meant for a hobby, not a job. Racing across the board would be better kept that way. If you made it your job, that's your fault.

Everyone is to blame for cost. Racers, promotors/sanctions, and manufacturers. Everyone.

It will come full circle and maybe douche itself. There needs to be a time when we sit back and see what this sport needs to be.

I race a sport mod and I don't see myself moving up to a full blown mod. I'm smart enough to know I don't need to spend more money to maybe have more of a "thrill" on the weekends. I'm almost as fast as them anyway so who cares. If I had to even drop back down to a FWD to have fun I would. My balls aren't that big.

One thing I know is I won't sit on here and be all "doom and gloom" about what's going on. I'm gonna enjoy while we can so just go have fun!

Great post. Especially the last paragraph.

Fact 1: More rules NEVER decrease the cost of racing. Look at IndyCar. That is complete spec class and it is super expensive. Makes late models look like bombers from a cost perspective. And don't get me started on F1. Tons of rules and regulations. Tens of millions of dollars to even get a seat at the table.Fact 2: Not enforcing rules ALWAYS increases the cost of racing. If you have rule that says, "no widgets", and you throw out any car with a widget on it, nobody goes and spends money on widgets. But if you allow one or two guys to run widgets because you don't want to tick them off, then EVERYBODY has to go buy widgets to be competitive. What the late model sanctions have done is quite a force multiplier by continuing to ADD more and more rules while simultaneously continuing to NOT enforce any of the rules that they have. Hell when was the last time you even saw something as simple as engine setback measured at the track. It's complete incompetence from the top down. It grew too big too fast with a lot of mismanagement the entire way. The sport hasn't had a real visionary at the top since Bob Memmer. Everything since then has been a series of carnival barkers. And this "council" that they created which consists only of people who stand to PROFIT by separating racers from their money is an absolute joke.You have to have SOME rules but if you don't enforce them, adding more rules is stupid. And that's exactly what they continue to do. K.I.S.S. But they don't so we will all be kissing late model racing goodbye if someone doesn't step up with some serious leadership and leave everyone's' egos in the dust.

You couldn't get through the first sentence without being wrong! Hahaha! This is why I quit racing, you're a bunch of idiots. Rules absolutely can make racing cheaper if done right and actually enforced. What are you going to tell me next? You're a Democrat socialist? Next you're gonna tell me capitalism doesn't work as and REAL communism has never been tried. Roflmao

What a name, very fitting, your post and ignorance are shining through.

Well there is still some big money in the sport when that leaves it's all over for supers at a lot of the series races now they barely got a full field.

Did you not read Matt's post. He said just enforcing the rules they already have would help keep cost down not having more rules. Like he said having more rules does not by itself reduce the cost of racing. You can have 100 pages of rules but, if you don't enforce them as written why have them so, no we're not a bunch of idiots we just understand the problem.

If Culp is scaling back to run mods and be with family more, kudos to him. Some things are more important than racing.

Priority changes when going gets tough. Hear that a lot.

Yes racing is expensive but another thing to remember is that for many guys racing a late model at a national level means getting beat badly 95% of the time and traveling days out of the week. Racing locally in the midwest means modifieds (just not many late models here and have not for 2 decades). However these guys racing locally can win 10+ a year, enjoy it and be home every night with the family. Regardless of cost and personal income it is hard to put 50,000 miles on a rig to get your head caved in nightly, knowing that if you stayed home you would be the man.

He seems like the type you could run side by side with for about half a corner.
