lets do the math and I am guessing
5 races x $150=$750 race fee
5 races x $500=$2,500 tires
5 races x $100= $500 gas and misc expenses
$3,750 Total
or 1 sharp used 300 2.8is and a 1.4 converter
good idea because unless you had a single digit number plate you made the right decision. great photo's.
Thanks! Although you're way low on the racing costs estimate - I race a couple of Ducatis, seven rounds, and travel from Idaho for each round! Of course, the 1D Mark III wasn't cheap, nor the cost of 400mm IS lens rentals, etc.
Still, I've never had a 90 MPH "get-off" while shooting pics, as I have a few times on the bikes. Something to be said for that!
No single digit plate, although I did pretty well this season. I won a bunch of races in various classes, and actually won the championship in the Super Twins class. In 2009 my plan is to race less and take more photos, but I'll still race a bit. It's just too much fun to completely stop.
