To the OP, buy it because you can, because you want to, but when you do, do not buy it because of your current budget. Stop, look, listen, READ..Educate yourself further..Then save your money and buy a better car 2,4,6,18 months down the road.
I'll leave it at that.

And that worm of a thread was even fatter and juicier before he went back and deleted some of his really inflammatory posts.  |

Thank you!
I think I know you jmarsey? If it’s you John, you were my first instructor into the world of HPDE events years ago starting at Thunderhill. Hope you’re doing well and thanks again  |

Small world Steve! I thank you for the memory and yes, that was a while ago! I sold the FFR Challenge car at the end of the 2012 season so it must have been before that.
Happy to hear you stuck with it! Your seat time and experience on the track means you've done your homework, more than most first time owners. Work your way up to it and you'll be fine, as I know you will. You're going to love your Backdraft and I'm excited for you!
If you're still around these parts, I should be bouncing back and forth between Thill and Sonoma most of next year with NASA. Or, if you want to meet up for a drive after you have your car sorted, let me know.
Congats Steve, well done!

Today after 5 months and 2 weeks waiting, I received confirmation that my car shipped from BDR to Vintage. Not gonna lie it's been frustrating but hearing it finally got shipped feels like a big weight was lifted Car is far from complete and I still have a ways to go but I know the Vintage team will work their magic.
Side note: my Blackstone griddle got delivered yesterday lol its gonna be a great weekend & weather |
