I bracket race in Etowns open comp racing, i can win as much as $800 or more on a sunday.

My interest was a N/A heads up class, that which is a slick tired class.

Spend $1000 to win bragging rights and no money? No thanks.

All you needed to do was change...275 drag radial to ....UNMODIFED WHEEL WELL....and now i'm racing, as well as host of other people who would otherwise not even consider the event.

Isnt part of this, the fact that you want to start up something? If you eliminate a whole feild of N/A small block, slick tired cars, which are quite abundant, then you cut out quite a few racers.

I realise what it costs to race, i have $40k into my car.

However, when it comes to changing components on a car to race in a headsup venue that offers No reasonable way of enforcing the CID limits, and no cash payout (yet)....i'm going to say, no its not worth it to spend nearly $1000 before i buy an entry.
