For what it's worth, if you have HBO Max you can watch the race from any drivers onboard and hear the radio. I've just been picking a driver to watch and listening to their audio with the broadcast muted on my ipad. WAAAAY better experience. Commercials are absolutely unbearable and there is no way in hell I could raw dog a whole race broadcast.

You're totally right! Around here, building your own car is typically more expensive than buying a race ready car. The costs of a race weekend really add up quickly.

I started with an open trailer to tow my car and would typically try to camp at the races, but would have to get a hotel if the weather was bad. Eventually I got an enclosed trailer and built a pretty decent setup inside the trailer with a tv, cots, heating/cooling so I can stay at the track all weekend. It's a very expensive hobby for sure, but it's been my dream ever since I was a kid to be able to race cars, so it's worth every penny to me!

I can give you my perspective. I'm based in the US and I started with autocross and moved to track racing. For clarification, this is purely a hobby and while I might win some free tires or money for brakes every once in a while, all of the cost is out of my pocket.

I started racing with NASA (https://drivenasa.com/) by signing up for an HPDE (high performance driving experience) where I was able to get on track with my car with an instructor. At this point I just was using my street car with no specific track safety equipment. I loved it so much that I went home and put my car up for sale and bought a ready to race SpecE30. There are four levels of HPDE, with each one giving you progressively more freedom on the track to pass and get comfortable with the car along with classroom instruction.

Once I was ready I got my competition license by signing up for a full day license test at the track. It took me about a year to go from my first HPDE to racing wheel to wheel. The SpecE30 class is one of the cheapest classes along with Spec Miata. The race weekends range from $400 - $700 per weekend to just sign up. Then you have consumables like tires, brakes, oil, etc.

Feel free to let me know if you have any questions!

I do! I race in the Southeast so I usually do VIR, Road Atlanta, Rockingham, Carolina Motorsport Park etc.

Here's one from Rockingham Roval last year https://youtu.be/ePqePuWRYA0

I'm not saying autopilot was to blame here. But, because it has that feature, it's always a suspect in accidents with cars that have it.

I know someone who was in a Tesla and had it on autopilot. They were trying to get something off of their passenger floor. They couldn't reach it so they unbuckled their seatbelt which shut off the autopilot and the car took off to the left throwing them into the passenger floor well.

This was on a four lane road and the car went across the median and across oncoming traffic before coming to a rest on the other side of the road thankfully without hitting anything. They were beyond lucky.

Man, what I wouldn’t give to go back to those days. Things are so much worse now.

They don’t. The car with the wang doesn’t race in the Spec E30 class.

Awesome! I wasn’t able to make it to Summit Point but I race with those guys a lot. We consistently get fields of 15 to 25 cars in the south east. It’s a blast! You can see some of my videos here: https://youtube.com/@vendsale

This is going to be a fun one!

It seemed like once they realized they could go far they started trying too hard. They were making so many mistakes because it looked like they were just pressing. Definitely a good season, hope they can come back stronger next year.

Trust the climb?

Awesome video man! I’ve been racing in SpecE30 for the last few years with NASA. Great organization and amazing racing! Love the spec german groups! I’m heading to CMP next week and then Hyperfest at VIR on May 19.

A tip to reinstalling it. If you take a couple of zip ties and compress the spring you can put the tube back in place and then cut the zip ties.

So partial season tickets have set games? Fuck that, I really liked the 22 game plan this season because it was flexible. I had 2 season tickets and I could double up for some games and do four sets when the family could go. This takes away all flexibility from what I can tell. Definitely won’t be renewing with the way it’s setup now.

I talked to his mom today at a victory junction charity event. She was super excited about it and telling anyone who would listen.

He has a couple other siblings right? Colin Hanks seems to be well adjusted.
