Its not the daily travel that its killing.  
Anyone here into local motorsports?  
The car counts are down at most of the tracks because people cant afford to haul the car there, pay for the gas in the race car, admission and haul it home again.  
Racing has always been a money losing hobby, but When it starts costing 200 a weekend, whos got an extra 800 + they don’t know what to do with every month?
