Looks like i may well be packing up again too having only really recently had another go! I was lucky in that i didn't have to spend too much to get into it again but it's still surprising how much you have to spend just to get to a regional if you want to compete (Can be as much as 2 sets of tyres, £30/40 fuel, £8 booking in - As Stan said i guess about £50 is the norm if not more.... which isn't a great deal but with a mortgage to pay for, a wedding in 4 months or so and the "pressure" of her indoors watching every single penny gets a bit much.
Sometimes as much as i love having a hobby i think you have to take a step back and re-assess your priorities, some things are too important and for me having the luxuary of Racing is something i can't really afford or certainly justify i suppose at the moment.........
I may come back again one day but the main thing i wanted to do was prove to myself that i could still compete at a high level but for now i shall start looking at selling up - Anyone want a virtually new/mint B4 with lots of nice bits, a 6 meeting old Novak Brushless system and shed loads of new Tyres & Spares please PM me and i'll get back to you this weekend with what i have.
Cheers guys.
