Hey Demon, welcome to the rat race! Your story could be mine and sounds like it's gonna be. My teammate and I , who by the way is Tony Johnson, the Black Monte Carlo, is on Facebook at HRGC racing, or something like that, both started about the same time with a goal similar to yours. We started in the USFRA '130' club , which my wife and I and several of our teammates completed, then on the the '150' club, which we both completed, but always had an hankerin' to go FASTER !
so we stepped up to comp class, worked our way up from rookie to both currently 'B' licensed ,which we achieved in 2021 ! Yup I am now the owner of 2 new fire bottles that needs to be recerted THIS YEAR
but let me tell you, once you 'taste' the salt all that BS goes away! We are both hoping to reach our personal goal of 200 + this year. As with you, I have the balls but not the checkbook to set a record in my class (A/CGALT - record 243+ ) but we both just LOVE running at BV- nothing like it on Earth!! And I have raced Off Road, drag race , Baja , and BV and the great folks in LSR are the (pardon the pun) the salt of the earth !! So, work some OT , sock away every penny an come join us in the most fun you can have with your clothes on
I'll be talking to Tony this weekend and will give him a heads up on you, maybe you guys can spend some time BS racing! And if you come out to either USFRA event, look for the Mad Gnome Racing/ HRGC Racing pit- we will crack a cold one or two. Good luck with you venture and and as Burt said ' if you don't follow your dreams, you might as well be a vegetable'
