Back in 2000, it cost me $15.39 per MINUTE to run my car in competition...NOT including car/insurance payments! The smiles per minute (SPM) were worth it at the time driving a nationally-competitive car at major events, but as I approach old age I wish that younger me would have invested all of that money into a retirement account and not blown it on rubber and trophy futures.....
