Sitting here watching racing and thinking about how crazy this game has gotten

I've never been a fan of buybacks but I understand it why they have them. I've been racing since 95 and I can count on 1 hand how many times I have doubled enter and I bet I have bought back less than a dz times as well. I keep thinking about trying a big money race some day, but like you said with guys doubled and than buying back, plus they are racing every week it's hard to compete. I know a local guy that a few years ago spent $20K on entries for racing that year. He did manage to win 1 decent paying race, but I bet he was still in the negative after all other expenses. Racing is one of these sports were guys will literally spend ten of thousands just to win a race even if it pays a grand.
