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.

Well Corporate cutbacks hit my family too. I thought we were pretty secure, I'm an engineer for GE in the energy sector, and my wife was an attorney in a large global firm. In April they cut her practice group accross the board and she was let go. (6 figure income is difficult to lose) In the end, we hope it will be better, she has started her own firm and has high hopes most of her existing clients will come with her. But the next few months are going to be a real wake up call for us. I'm only doing the Auto-X's I signed up for with my club dues and no track days this year.
