I'd like to point out that Akron SCCA will be having cash days for autocross very similar to what the guys at the drag strip do now. Run what you brung, side bets, buy backs x3. The whole shabang. I intend on going up there next season with a few hundred a day and seeing how much I can bring home. This is a legal avenue, with turns and a slightly more level playing field.
There's going to be 13 events next year, lots of cash to be had.
