In it's lower forms like the street stock class I raced, it is relatively inexpensive. It was our tracks largest class with sometimes 60 cars showing up. IMO it is less dependant on the amount of money spent on the car than many other forms of auto racing. It takes some skill to figure out and master the track surface both in car setup and driving ability on any given night.

Amateur MX racing is probably my favorite form of racing as it is nearly 100% dependant on the rider's skills and ability to ride close to the edge.

I don't care for most large professional car racing series because while the drivers must have talent, typically only the biggest teams with biggest pocket books are the ones who can afford to build winning machines. The average person can't just decide to build or buy an F1 car and go racing for a year or two... I like technology and fast cars, but I just can't get too excited about following a motosport that participation in is unobtanium for most.
