I used to race supermodifieds in the 80's and it too just got to be too rich for the privateer. There was a time when you could buy a used chassis, build a good alky motor and a kinsler injection and be ready to go racing for about $40K and be competitive. Now you can't even get in the gate for less than $300K.
