The price of racing.

E85 is a controversial topic and not a fuel that I for one would be interested in. VP Q16 is now 25 dollars a gallon in 5 gal pails and 23 dollars and change in a 54 gal drum format. I think I will greatly reduce my racing this year to a few specific events and instead spend my money working on my other cars which I feel at this time with the current administration is money better spent for now. Looking forward to MUCH BETTER things to come in a couple years.

i am too lazy to deal with the corrosive effect attention that needs to be paid to running that stuff.
As i saw a guy mention on facebook who is a well known Mopar racer…..racing money should be disposable income you don't need to use on anything else. If the extra cost of fuel is enough to make ends not meet, maybe we shouldn't be doing it.
I agree with this, there was a time i spent every spare dime i had on racing. Was a very tough disease to overcome.
Now i have a set amount of money sat aside to my racing hobby each month. I cant spend a dime more than what that fund consists of. So i save for this, save for that, and peck away at what i want. This year it was heads, next year Dana. But i always keep enough set aside to race whenever i want to, that is the most important to me
