When does it hurt (too much)

delete · In rehab

Wayne, its probably not the whole reason but it has to be getting to be a large contributing factor.Mind you we would love to see bigger club race fields, preferably with plenty of new younger competitors. We've got to keep new blood coming in. Second and third generation is great, particularly for the whole family atmosphere, but we really need new new blood to widen our competitor base.

At my servo here at ardlethan, I put my diesel price up to $196.9!!!!!!!! and I still only make about 8c/ltr.
But now that I need to live on a budget (got away without one for a few years), fuel costs are a concern to me.
With crookwell my closest track (700km return), and closest national round 500km away, I do need to re-evaluate things.
My tow car gets about 4.5km/lt, and buggy about 2.5km/ltr....so a 1000km tow trip, + recon, and approx 400km buggy distance, adds up to huge amounts.
My future will definately be focussed on state level races!
But then again, what value do you put on the racecar, f250, transporter and associated items sitting in the shed doing nothing? Makes fuel prices seem insignificant!

the pain is relevant to the passion, ask any footy player to come off the field in a grand final and he will tell you to get F@#%*d even if he has broken ribs and is spitting blood, the same can be said for many motorbike riders who will push through extraordinary pain just to finish.
this is extremely similar to the financial commitment we all put into our vehicles. i couldnt give a flying F@#% if fuel was ten dollars a litre you couldnt get me out of my $5000 car with the jaws of life.
i only wish i had more money to do interstate races aswell as the state rounds. ps diesel is $1.96 in hyden aswell. thats my two cents cheers
