    We were lucky enough to paddock next to Austin and his team and see the immense effort they put toward their program. Awesome guys, awesome effort, and a BEAUTIFUL car. Hope to see Austin and the team next year at Road America!

    Austin and Family (Bradshaw Motorsports) are a class act and great ambassadors for the sport. Great video and definitely something SCCA needs to focus on.

    As a college student attempting to build a racecar in my garage, this gives me hope that it can be done.

    Fanstastic to see Austin getting recognition for running a competative program on a tight budget. A great friend, and an amazing role model. Inspires me and gives me motivation to get out there. Even just getting to VIR and competing is a herculean task in my mind, to see that he was able to do it is amazing

    Mike Lewis... I would love to have the FD body he did in 94!

    VIR has no sand traps or paved runoff area while intentionally deciding to use grass to nearly assure you will have extensive body damage in many turns and the real risk of rolling it up in a ball. What are you going to do if your race car is totaled? Quit?

    30-40 years ago the average guy could afford to do this.
    You could enter an Autocross for $10-$12. You didn't have to be a member either. It attracted thousands to the sport where back in the 1990s you had hundreds of entries at just the local level.
    Now, it cost $100 for a two day autocross event at the LOCAL LEVEL!!!.(Regional, Divisional, and National costs are even higher)Tires that use to cost $100 ea. are now $200 ea.
    Autocross is by far the cheapest form of motorsports. Road Racing is 3-5 times higher in entry, maintenance, and transportation fees.
    Sorry SCCA but this sport is strictly for wealthy well off individuals and certain people in America are weeding those out as fast as they can. Plus the push to electrics will isolate motorsports even more as more people stop buying cars cause they can't afford them.
    Your sport is being brainwashed out of the young population as a waste of energy too. A bourgeois thing that doesn't benefit the People and by killing off cheap energy this will have devastating effects on all motorsports.

    Why not just go karting?
    - It's a WHOLE LOT less expensive;
    - The racing is a lot closer;
    - It's a lot more fun;
    - The vehicles are a lot simpler and easier to set up and maintain;
    - You can do it yourself without a crew;
    - It's everything you like about racing, distilled down to its essence.
