If the guy travels much his toter home is probably a good investment. I know guys that race dirt cars for a living and do pretty well financially, and I know some guys that have very successful businesses that spend 200K a year more than they take in with their racing operations.
Very few racers at the local level will have 300K in their operation. Guys with that kind of investment usually travel regionally and can earn a substantial amount of money.
I've been around dirt track racing for 50 years. Racers are like farmers. They're always complaining about money. Truth be told many racers over state what they have invested, and they don't talk about how much they get in sponsorships, winnings and contingencies. A good regional racer will race at least twice a week for 6 months a year and they'll be racing for $1000 at a weekly show to $10,000 for some special events. At the national level they race for 10K to the sky is the limit. There was even a million to win race several years ago.
Everyone should have a hobby. Quality of life is not measured by quantity of dollars. Everyone should be careful to not let their hobby (or their profession) turn into an obsession.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
