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.

I work for Jared Jewelry. My income in 2008 was almost half of what it was in 2007. I am a good saver though so I am alright for quite a long time even with my house and all. No sales force layoffs so far. No whispers of it either.

But my side job is pressure washing. The money I make from it is strictly for racing stuff i.e. z28 payments, z28 insurance, tires, entry fees, gas etc. made 6k in 07 and 1k in 08! Not one job since october. Only 2 calls in that time. So I am sacrifing some other things to make up a very tiny amount. So far I plan on houston tour and nationals.

But things could be much worse. For instance the The govt could borrow money from china and then use it for aahhh FTW!!!! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/bigun2.gif) I wanna race! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/gr_driving3.gif)
