What does this mean?

Well, don't get beat then. :-)
I'm always confused by arguments against ProSolo that say "my car costs
$blah to operate and therefore its not worth running a Pro". How the hell
is it worth it for regular soloII? By any sane fiscal measurement, we're
all idiots anyway. We do this because its fun. If you don't have fun at
Pro's that's certainly fine, but tossing some "my car is expensive to
operate" rationalization on it is just that.

Me either. That's why I want more prepared / mod cars at pros! :-)
