Like I said earlier in this thread, its good to have sponsors, because you can drive like that. Maybe 5% of the folks that pay their own money for this (or any) car are going to drive it that much at risk. I would think if it were a $15K car it would be more likely frankly.
Orido is paying out of his pocket.

Yeah, wheels, tires & several other parts are sponsored, but every crash he makes, he's fixing out of his pocket
