Re: New Skippy Car Components Survey #4 of 8: DATA ACQUISITION

Test day in a Star Mazda... ~$10,000
Race weekend in Star Mazda... ~$25,000
Race weekend in Grand Am Cup... ~$15,000

I could go on.

None of those series offer instructor feedback or a spare car if you wreck yours. None offer a decent insurance policy if you wreck. None have truly evenly matched cars and the friendships that exist at Skippy. None offer extra lappping, practice, or computer car.

Again, I could go on.

What do they have that Skippy doesn't? Full fields. Over 70 per weekend in cup. Over 30 in Mazda.

Racin' ain't cheap. This doesn't mean jack the price up astronomically. But SB has to compete. The balance is How many part time racers do we lose? vs How many full time racers do we keep or add?

I wouldn't want to be making the decisions.
