There are a few decent spots I've found. I've also learned to not tell anyone about them, because I told one guy about my favorite spot, and plenty of people started racing there, then the cops showed up and it's no longer a nice spot.

A nice dinner for me and my wife? $125 plus.
Sure the track costs more than these things, but the point is that in the grand scheme of things it's not INSANELY expensive.
You don't need to be rich to afford the track. It's a matter of diverting money from other stuff you're doing now, for a little while.
It. is. worth. every. penny.

I don't think you fellas understand how much a college boy like me has to count his pesos. I eat a lot of dried beans and take the ninjette, even in really unfavorable conditions, to save on $ (I'm aware of the arguments on both sides of car v bike in terms of $, but in my particular circumstances, the ninjette is cheaper). The car's there just to keep me alive on the days where it's raining at a 90 degree angle to the ground. It's only insured for a couple thousand miles a year.
I should be transferring to a 4-year soon enough, so I'll likely be able to within the foreseeable future.

I'm north enough that it's basically like living in Oregon. If I lived in the city, that'd be true, but it's not.

I tried calling a local sumo club but they weren't okay with it.
