Racing budget?

[Billy Nees]

When I first met Michael he didn't have 2 dimes to rub together but he had(has) a great passion to race. He's done OK in spite of himself.
Bottom line, how much do you know about the mechanics of a car? How much do you know about Drag Racing and S/SS racing? Are you willing to learn and work? The more that you can do yourself, the less it costs. The more good friends that you have, the less it costs. The smaller your ego, the less it costs.
Entry fees, membership fees and traveling expenses are all pretty much set. You can get there in a half a million dollars worth of coach and trailer or a 20 year old truck and open trailer but what ever you are towing with, it had better be in good shape because you don't want to get stuck out on the road. The best way to not be around long is to race "over your head". Good luck and (what ever you do) have fun.
