Check out how much it costs to enter a NASCAR race, i mean even a hobby stock, or bomber class. yes that is nascar too. now find out about SCCA races, how much they are for entrance fee's rule books etc. Look at open road races, like the silver state classic in nevada or the Sandhills classic in Nebraska. Then look at drag racing. test and tune nights are usually about $15 and races where you can WIN $500-$1000 are $30 -50 for an entrance fee. Plus you can run your daily driver (done it) or even your tow vehicle if you have a semi race only car (done it) Drag racing is far cheaper, and its far cheaper to go to the drags than any other racing. Yes two hours on the track is fun and exciting, but it also costs ya more.</P>


I loved all sorts of racing, including driving my 2nd gen WS6 TA WAAAAY to fast for the tires and roads I was on. It will cut a corner like few other cars. It'll knock your fillings out, but it was fun. I am into cheap thrills, so drags are what I do.</P>

Oh yeah Karts are a blast for start to stop. Not terribly expensive, but you do need quite a bit of support equipment.
