Actually, from most expensive to least expensive I figure it runs about like 1) women 2) auto racing 3) photography and guns (tied). My brother and I race cars, but at the low end of the spectrum. We compete in SCCA (amateur) Club Racing (road courses like Mosport or Laguna Seca). At the moment, we have two first generation RX-7s that we race, but one is going up for sale in a couple of weeks, and we're replacing it with a Baby Grand car (http://www.babygrandracing.com). If you're curious, take a look at our web site (http://www.NutDriver.org). I haven't updated it recently, but I'm racing at Road Atlanta in about ten days and hope to update the site within a week after that. TTYL, DougF KG4LMZ
