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've been there. About the same time my boys got into sports, (the mid-eighties), I decided auto-x had become less of a hobby, and more of a job. I all but turned my back on autocrossing for at least 5 years, running an event here and there if it sounded like fun. I never regretted it. I was coerced into being a baseball coach, a football coach, and even a score keeper for basketball. At the same time there was scouting, (and pinewood derby cars!), band, school work, Church, family etc. I would give anything to do it all again. Then there was high school wrestling, cross country, track, football, and band. When my sons, (now 24, and 22), were in their early teens, I bought all of us dirt bikes. We had a place to ride about an hour from here. The riding meant less to me than the talks as we rode along in my old Chevy. There was the tearful goodbye as we left out oldest at college. Enjoy your children, raising mine was the most magical experience of my life. I wish you well.
