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 the economy, but the decision to send my daughter to a private high-school pretty much killed the idea of pursuing racing at this point. I have a CMC car, which I am now selling. It is a very cheap series to run, but even if I do half the season and it costs me $5K, that is a good chunk towards the tuition bill. And there just is not enough $$ floating around to do both without making some drastic cuts in other areas. So racing was the first thing on the chopping block. Maybe later when the kids are out of school I can revisit it.
