For me in San Antonio, it actually makes more sense to leave my racecar in Columbus, OH with Dad, and add an extra $700/weekend in plane tickets for me to basically "arrive & drive fly-in" to Northern Conference events, instead of trying to race down here. Initial math shows I'll spend less time traveling, use similar vacation from work, and spend less money in plane tickets vs. gas and tow vehicle expenses.
Otherwise to race down here, NOLA and Hallett are the two closest events, and they're both 9.5 hour drives away. It also looks like Hallett is going to interfere with a trip I need to make in April, so that one is likely out regardless. Initial rumors say the last "TBD" event will be COTA in August, which is great in that it's only 1.5 hours from my house and an amazing track, but I'd anticipate 100+ degree heat. So do I haul everything to Texas, just to do a "9.5 hour tow away" NOLA event in March and a COTA "five months later and stupid hot" event in August? Everything else in this Conference is a 12+ hour tow, so "no". Or do I just say f-it, leave my stuff at home in Ohio, and let a pilot chauffer me to events? Yes, that sounds rediculous, but only slightly less rediculous than actually trying to race down here in the Mid-Conference. I also say that WANTING to race down here! New tracks, new competition, sounds great! But not if the time and expense of travel will suck all the fun out of it.
:boohoo: , I know...
Maybe secret answer C? Take up competitive shooting, cause you're in Texas now.
