These videos are great. No kidding about CRC putting out good product. If it's snake oil, they use magic snakes. Thanks.

Thanks man. Nice to see our efforts aren't going unnoticed. And, yeah CRC stuff is fantastic. We were fans long before they were involved with us as an advertiser or an event sponsor. We're really honored to have them be part of the live show.

Yes - that was a fun one to watch. I think you had a record number of viewers too? Still not a ton, but it's getting there.

First time watching a Grassroots Motorsports Live video. Like how John said how much it cost to race a full season but how much does a rental race in the MX-5 Cup cost?

Single race rentals for a non-owner usually run about double what an arrive-and-drive for a car owner runs (typical market prices, not quoting anything for Sick Sideways). For a series like this single race deals are fairly complicated for the team, and are charged at a premium. Insurance tends to be a bit more aggressive for single race deals as well.

EDIT: And thanks for watching! Hope you'll tune in again.
