Every seriously competitive grassroots w2w effort will require buying several Hoosiers per year, whether it's gltc spec Miata spec racer Ford or dirt track midgets sprints and late models.

You may be able to autocross or time trial or kart at a high level (by that I mean a contender for winning a national event or points series) for <$10k/year if you're good, but to get gud quickly you probably need to spend that much money for a few years to develop (assuming you're an average Joe) or be willing to take a long time to git gud.

inb4 creative accounting; the only way to race cheap is on a sim.

More fun to do it the other way round tho.
One of my mentors was always an advocate for mixing business and pleasure. He was fresh off his second divorce at the time so maybe he isn't the role model I need right now...

Edit: Also I like Hoosiers, they aren't the devil incarnate, looking forward to their 200tw Enduro compound.
