      The bottom line is what determines if it’s a hobby or not. Just look at the race winnings for the guys following national tours and compared that to what it costs. Crew guys work 80-90 hour weeks for a couple hundred bucks lol , that’s not a profession it’s a hobby.

        Of course not. You get all types of track conditions during a year.

            I was surprised to see "Durham Racing Engines" emblazoned on one of the cars at Shawano last night...new Lazer chassis. Think he finished 4th in 25 lap per that saw about 22 start and maybe 10 finish.

If you can I know a few race teams that are interested.
