Mike is dead-on. I have absolutely no problem with the people that have the wherewithal to buy the big schmancy rigs. If you've got it, and that's what you want to do: great! Live the American dream. The ones that I have a problem with are the ones who buy the big schmancy rigs that couldn't truly afford them in the first place, and then complain about the cost of racing.

For me, racing has always needed to pay for itself. I choose to play it close to the vest. I race cheap, and because of that, I make money doing it. That's my decision.
