"If you want to make a little money racing....... You need to start with a lot!!!"

Or something to that effect...

A friend of mine is a very talented driver wins in club racing etc.... Got a to test for a seat in one of the top GT cars a few years ago... a team that won Lemans and some other big races....With more time with the team he could have got the seat.....he could keep lap times close enough to the pros that he would have been able to co-drive one of the teams cars..

He couldn't afford to... a seat at that time was in the 75K neighborhood

What we do now is probably crazier.... club racing.... spend lots of money and have no chance of winning a Rolex...
