Now I realize that some Know it All thread Nazi will drop in to remind us that Toyo offers Toyo bucks and so they have to make a profit or it's just not worth it. My response will be that NASA and Toyo have struck a bargain to both gain at our expense. NASA wasn't happy that we pay entrance fees, they want sponsorship dollars too. That's fine and all but at what point do you stop marketing yourself as the affordable spec racing series and acknowledge you're now the big money league just like the series' that you started out to better.

Rules changes have more than doubled the cost to build a competitive CMC car while the new tires has run up the cost of running up front by 3 or 4 times. Two sets of R1A's used to be enough but with increased demand due to upgrades and the change to RR's it seems that it now takes 6 sets of tires to run up front.
