You are not alone in your thinking, the cost is far beyond the fun and friends you gain. Its a shame its going down hill for newbees, they cant even build a dine rocket, if they do they cant afford the entry and travel expense. All you have to do is look at the pictures taken and posted on this site from all the div. and national races, the age of the large part is over 55 and even some up to 70. as they drop out car counts will drop big time. I for one will build a street rod, not a trailer queen, good folks there also.
