Sprinting may seem cheap, but it's poor value for money IMHO.
Racing always was expensive, look back over the years (think immediate post/pre war) and the man-in-the-street didn't race. When was it affordable?
I reckon it's better than ever now, with indoor/outdoor karting, trackdays, Time Attack (whatever that is), often you don't even need your own equipment to go racing. You won't fill up the coffers of the MSA, but you'll have a great time with low-involvement and still have another life. Why bother with club circuit racing with all its expensive paraphernalia?
Never mind the rose-coloured specs for the past, we are living in a golden period and let's enjoy it before elf'n'safety realise we're having a great time and ban it all!
