Maybe we racers need our own Maximum Maxus somewhere central for the racers interested in showing up.
Well I live at the track, only 2 weekends off from April 1 to end of Oct. Towing is out of the question because I'm not going to buy a tow vehicle and I get 36 mpg in my Max so its very efficient. Usually I am within AAA range so I don't worry about breaking and I race N/A 99% of the time anyway. I won't spray again until Oct at the last race of the season like last year.

Don't plan on getting a cage either so I can't spray every weekend and it only takes a 50 shot to put me under 11.49. So I will just do it once a year and see if i can improve from the previous year. Racing is my passion not spraying, I am happy to run 12's and still beat most of the competition and so far I am up $2100 for the year so it pays expenses.
