Let me get this straight.

ok I tow with a brand new Dually and a 39ft gold rush trailer with a Golf cart inside with race car . I have two to three full time maids,cleaning up after me and room service if I want with diner at various spots in the City I race at . The places I stay at cost any where from 40 to 100 million dollars to build . I get to have a full shower with fresh bed with great air condition and even have a special wake up call at these special resorts complete with pool and most of the time a neat restaurant .

I don;t always have this luxury of staying at a multimillion resort but I don't have to worry about extra insurance , extra expenses to keep up a motor home or maintence ,or a cdl or scales or worrying about roads all we do is just have fun .

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.

I used to dig seeing 1970's Division 7 Pro Stock racer Kevin Rotty roll in to the track with his factory framed Camaro on an open trailer being pulled by his wood paneled 1969 Chevy Kingswood wagon, and hand all the high roller's their butts. He and Richie Zul were my favs back then, the rig has never made any car any quicker.

I think that Jack and Rock have said it all there's nothing wrong with being comfortable if you can afford it. You can rough it out but the enjoyment factor can be affected by your pain threshold your willing to live with. I first brought a motorhome to the race track in the eighties to bring my family with me when I race, this way the children had a place to eat and sit while Dad was running his car.lol This went a long way at keeping the peace between my wife and I. I find it a very nice way to travel to the races and now I don't have to get hosed by the locals(motel, restaurants) with their over price rooms just because the circus is in town. Love to see the enginuity of racers when it comes to their transportation. When it rains it takes to second to get everything ready for the road, try that with a tent.(I know I've done it lost of time). If you can afford it go for it. CR
