Oh my gosh, that's right, my wife could be reading this.
A new motor is only $387.00
it costs $18 to rebuild a transmission.
The race organizer donates the entry fees to childrens charities.
Seriously, my wife would stop buying powdered milk if she knew how long the ten dollar tires lasted.
I was just trying to make the point that there are some "used up" cars for sale out there, and they are not cheaper to run than a good one with low time components. Buying one is similar to purchasing an airplane. On the good side, you get a lot of bang for the buck with the Histiric Cup car series. It is cheaper than running in PCA racing with say a Porsche 996 Cup car.
TC, nice car. I love the "high downforce" "dropped snout" nose on that car. I've seen Gene Felton turn a 1:27 at Road Atlanta in that car, and you'll be getting a lot of respect and elbow room out on the track until folks realize that Felton sold the car !!
