+1 indeed.....

My old man gave up racing purley due to funding. Admittidly it was a Single and went through 8 pistons + rings in one season, but at £90 each, it adds up.
Fuel, camping, food, drink, tyres, wet tyres, spare tools, spare parts, fuel, fuel to get to event, van/trailor etc...

IF your trying to save, going into racing without sponsorship is a REALLY bad idea.

I would LOVE to get into it, but simple funding as always means its a no no.
