BIGGEST effect of dirt racing COST or the ECONOMY or is it about equal?

They helped the lazy guys, they didn't help the true racers.

They helped the lazy guys, they didn't help the true racers.

I wouldn't call people lazy because of a no siping and grooving rule.

There are not enough "true racers" (as you put it) left to fill the fields at local tracks. There is a big group of people (myself incl.) who have the money to race, but time is our issue with a 45-50 hour work week, a 1-2 hour (one way) commute, and kids, etc. These are the type of people for whom time is a lot more valuable than money (that is why we buy services like Maids, Landscaping, etc.)

I can't spend 10 hours a week on tires, because I only have 10 hours a week to spend on the car. My answer to that is to race less (I'll probably be lucky to run 12 races next year) which is fine with me, but the tracks on the other hand would much rather see me run 20-30 races to help the car count. If siping/grooving tires is not allowed then I might be able to make 20 shows because of all the time it saves me.

Times are/have changed. A very large portion of the people who can afford to race fall into the category that I described above. Unfortunately I don't see that changing any time soon (at least not in the area I live in).

Thanks,
Jeff.

The problem is, transfinantial. That's like transgendered, but we are rich men born in a poor mans body.
