Over at MotorBikeRacing.blogspot MG has another good post up about the cost of racing. He’s talking about the BS’ness of rules to make racing costs less when the Factories are involved.

How does this apply to club level racing? The same way. You are going to spend all the money you can/have. The smart think to do is, pick the bike and class or classes that you can afford to compete in. Not just on the money scale but also on riding and tuning skill scale.

Every time the rules are used to try to reduce costs we just spend the money on something else. That does not mean the rule makers can ignore the costs of stuff. It does mean that cost control is up to you.
