Well I think the time has come.

As my son gets older things will get more and more expensive. I need to plan for my families future and that's not being done sufficently now.

Another reason is that I've lost alot of the fun factor. I really want to do this to WIN. Which is bad as it has made most events a business only type attitude, thing.

I have fished since I was 10. And basically stopped completely years ago. It's a bug I can't shake. No matter how hard I try. This will be my new hobby.

FWIW if you act NOW the car will be for sale CHEAP.

Or maybe it would be better to part the car out?

I don't have pictures. There were a couple up here on Frrax but I'll have to dig them up later today when I get home.

I'll probably be around a 'little' bit.

I think I'll take this year off, and maybe try driving with someone next year.

The biggest reason I'm taking a semi permanent break, is that I wanted to do this 110%. If I can't do that I don't want in on the action. For me the cost per weekend was the real killer.

I get just as much or more enjoyment out of fishing but I can fish an entire weekend for gas money. And I live an average of two minutes or less from two lakes I can get that done really cheaply. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Some autox weekends are close to $400. More if a LONG ways from home less if by my self which is almost never the case. A simple drive 2.5 hours away for a one day event is usually well over $100.
