Jay's right... regardless of the costs, this "hobby" we have is a blast! :-D I'd find a way to pay whatever I had to to continue to be able to do what I love to do. And I didn't mean to come across as anything other than surprised on some of the dollar amounts spent on contests but maybe I take for granted the number of local contests in my area and that MAYBE the reason most are cheaper to enter is that there are so many, they are in competition with each other for teams to attend. I don't know... just a theory I suppose. :wink:
On the "profit" on my mileage reimbursement, if I had a new car that I was wanting to make last for awhile, I would agree with you. But my car is thankfully finally paid off :grin: :grin: :grin: , has 166,000 miles on it and has had minimal maintenance. I plan to trade it in within the next year so as long as it lasts (knock on wood), wear and tear aren't big issues here. I'm still gonna claim it as profit, if only to justify sticking it into BBQ contest funds! :lol:
