[QUOTE="tonybolton, post: 724012, member: 3432"] It's fun as long as it stays grassroots....keep the sponsors...money grabbers and "pros" out of it. Some take it to the nth level. Most events around Knoxville have gotten up in the 80-100+ entries. While this does generate lots of money for the organization I think it makes it kind of terrible for the participants. There's tons of nit picky classes to choose from on [url=http://www.scca.com]www.scca.com[/url] Some rules make sense...most dont in my opinion. It can sometimes just cater to "clique" cars. Lots of folks will choose a lesser fun vehicle jus due to competitiveness. Different strokes different folks... Like most Automotive Sports it can be as cheap or is expensive as you want it to be. I remember when I first started there was a father and son that just went and bought some wheels and some race tires and would rent a Dodge Neon for the weekends and autocross the **** out of it and then turn it back in on Sunday or Monday. 15 dollar entry fee...500 bucks for wheels/tires that'd last a year. I thought it was very cool because the father would teach his son car control and reasons why the car would do what it did. Things like disconnecting a front or rear sway bar or just putting the race tires on the front or the back. [/QUOTE]
