Just curious how many have scaled back, scaled back considerably or outright had to park your car because of the economy?

And along with that, how many have done any of the above, not based on actual events, but fear of something happening that would make curtailing your "fix" inevitable?

For me, my regional race schedule hasn't changed, but the TnT days and out of region events have been scratched. And not because of being laid off or anything, just burying my coffee cans in the backyard in case I do.

If I didn't have a great group of sponsors and wasn't able to trade instructing for registration, then the story would probably be differnet.

Not only parked it, but siphoned out the gas! Well not really, but thats how it feels.

Unfortunately, it appears it will be that way for awhile. I am now working part time for a racing buddy. My 2008 income was less than one-half what it was in 2007.

Luckily the house payment and groceries are manageable with the lower income, savings, and the wife's income. Everything else is paid for including the kids' college.... Thank goodness

This too shall pass.
