If you want to run anything above midpack in IT with any serious competition, you are probably already spending as much as many National drivers. As newer cars come in, they are getting more complicated and cost more to "go faster." Fact of racing.
DING DING DING!!! We have a winner!!!
New tires for each weekend for IT front of field: Check.
New engine every year (or sooner): Check.
Dyno time to tune engine and computer: Check.
Custom shock valving for each track: Check.
Separate transmissions for each track: Check.
The only costs that, at least here in the Cendiv, that IT doesn't have that a lot of National classes have is bodywork - we don't hit each other as much. Otherwise, it's all the same.
And, yes, I know, those of you that believe that it will be more expensive will continue to do so. Those of us who believe it won't make it any more expensive will also continue to do so.
