John,
Me of all people can certainly understand the insurance issues, and have no arguments about it. But now it really leaves me seriously wondering. I want to hear some opinions from Club Cranky and other racers.

I love open tracking, and autocrossing. I have spent a lot of money upgrading my FFR to go racing. It was more of a "waxer" car when I got it, and I'm turning it into a track car.

Now, hearing this, I'm finding it will take more and more to upgrade the car for racing. Aluminum radiator, upgraded brakes, more hp out of the motor, coil overs, etc....

Unfortunately, money is a big issue for me. I can afford my car and a few open track events, but can't go crazy. I'm starting to think maybe I should trade my car for a purpose built spec racer type. At the same time, I also like Sunday cruising and taking rides with the wife, so I don't want a through and through race car. I want something street legal and with a nice looking paint job. I like Terry's car (I have no clue how much he spent on that car).

Decsions, decsions....can I have my cake and eat it too?
