How much of your OWN money do you spend racing?

I wouldn’t xxxxx but i don’t have my dad stuffing money into a shifter for me. Sorry to complain. Life sucks. Then you die

Not Sure where this is coming from but your comments don’t seem too cool Streets (that is your real name is’nt it?). Did’nt you call out for some help on the forum last August needing help with your new Tag? If I remember correctly, Ben offering you information and offered you help (in person) if needed. This family will help anyone who needs it. They are not a high budget operation but some of the best quality people in the Series. I have a feeling it is an entire family effort for their racing. Just like us, we’ve made sacrafices in our lifes to do this. Not sure if you race in our Series or how this thread affects you so personally Streets. If you were MY son and had the “Sorry to complain” “Life sucks – Then you die” attitude. I would not be very interested in STUFFING my money into your dreams, hobbies, sports, interest’s… whatever!

If you are trying to race and get your parents support (or anyones elses for that matter) try being positive. It breeds just like the negative, just not as fast.

I was being slightly sarcastic by the “Sorry to Complain…Life sucks, then you die” statement.

Secondly, I have no doubt that Mr. Schermerhorn is a SUPER nice guy, as is Mr. Elliot and Mr. Ray. Their sons should hug their dads everyday and tell them how much they appreciate their fathers’ supporting them in racing.

However, I was simply responding to a statement made by a kid who probably doesn’t realize how lucky he is, giving me some gay STARWARS quote and calling me :lame lame. Not very cool. And that’s why I said it. No biggie, I’m sure he’s a nice kid.

I was simply venting how angry I would be if my seal was cut, since i DON’T have $300 bucks to just re-seal a motor. It makes me debate whether or not I should try and race a few of these upcoming events. If I get teched and Bellew and the SKUSA nazi’s want to pull my seal, I’ll take a DQ.
And sorry to anyone who thinks I have a negative attitude. I’m only negative towards anything that makes this sport more expensive and less fun. Feel me? :loony:

I race because it’s a love that makes me haul a kart 1200 miles to Reno, NV for a STARS race in the back of a tiny ass pickup with my drunken a-hole friend who was supposed to help me out, but left me to do it all by myself. Now THATS fun, lol

But to all, thanks for being cool people. Karters in Colorado are super nice people, and we as a community just need to be cool to each other. We aren’t winning anything of true value, except our friendship.
