Uh Oh, someone's been following the MotoGP too closely with this CRT idea [X(]

Something that never ceases to amaze me is the shock/horror reaction to the capital investment (the plane and gear) and the almost total lack of consideration given to the ongoing costs (practice, attending events, maintenance). I don't even want to know about depreciation or opportunity costs.

I outlayed nearly 6.5K to set up my F3A ship, and while I still owe money on my house (around 7.5% at the time), just having it sit in a corner without firing a shot is costing me nearly $500 per year in extra interest on the home loan.

Even at 6.5K that's only half the price of a new motorcross bike and I don't see any shortage of young fella's with one of those in the back of their hotted up ute's, with loud stereo's and fat tyres. How come it's just the old married people that have money problems
