Cost of Racine

Cost of Racing and Inner Feelings.

Racing is expensive but it does not always involve parts for the car.

The idea of racing was a life long dream. Something I wanted to do as a young person. As I grew up and got married I had responsibilities. The kids were more important and I sidelined any of my ideas for doing anything dangerous. They are now grown but still I have responsibilities to my wife. I knew I needed to learn about the car I was going to build and that took time. It took about five years of research on the Internet and talking with other racers. Those five years didn’t cost any out of the pocket money but time to research. It was Time that has no real dollar amount that you could give it specifically.

I can’t possible tell you the amount of time I gave to research but I did miss a bunch of things that most take for granted, like going out and seeing a movie or dinner. Going on a vacation. I keep my Focus on one thing and that was to build the best car I can.

I would only hope that the Time spent would pay off in two fold!
