if you have the money and its not really gonna matter that you loose then do it. but if your depending on winning that money, then dont do it. its better to have the money you have than to be at a 200 loss. but also think, some of the biggest pieces are the quickest, just because they dont care what it looks like and cares all about the speed. id say do it if you really want to... ive done my share of racing.just make shure you race on an 8th mile track
