Whats even more remarkable is that somebody of Crunch's experience and position in the organization of New Zealand motorsport would actually believe that.

Just the travel costs to the two meeting's in the South Island will eat up 10K, let alone the cost of all the consumables and factoring in all the maintenance provision's that so often get forgotten in peoples budget's. As it does not matter if you do all the work yourself, because it's still man hours that could bring in revenue, which is why people like Jacko [Wayne Anderson] cost all of their time taken on his, or his son's Tony's race car doing all the regular maintenance, at his normal charge out rate because if they are not working on their race cars they would be working on a customers race car.
