I would leave karting tomorrow if my lad would agree to it but he won't. Karting is vastly expensive compared to the majority of his friends hobbies and it beats me how the competition commission haven't looked into some of the blatant price fixing which goes on within the industry. It's a specialist hobby not a career path. I admit that I was blinded by the prospect of success initially but now a couple of years have passed and I no longer have any personal enthusiasm for it. I have looked at what we've spent in 2 years and the interesting thing is that if I had any idea that I would have spent that kind of money I would have dismissed the idea as unaffordable but I somehow came up with that money and now I wonder how much of the expenditure was necessary and whether I could use the monthly karting budget to better effect. It's very easy to be influenced by paddock talk about how this is better than that etc and to act without proper consideration of the information being given, particularly on race weekends when you're usually looking for an advantage.
