get about 7500 saved, buy a used race car, trailer,and truck

then spend the rest of your money driving to, entering, fixing your car trailer and truck

^That's the game plan now. I do not want to race with guys with 80k wrapped up in their cars and me with 10k. I would get run over, cussed at, etc. haha. Plan on finding an older hatch 240 and building it up unless I can find a car already built to meet specs. Thanks for the replies.

Sorry to hijack your thread, but what do you all think is the cost cost effectve car and class to race wheel to wheel in?

Hahahahhaa. There is no such thing as a cost effective wheel to wheel race car. I'd even venture to say that there isn't even a cost effective car to do autox in if you want to be truly competative (at a national level).

Something old,cheap,easy to fix and get parts for.

Civic, SE-R,Miata,MR-2..you get the idea.

As for above ^ Super Production is the only real spot for your car. Touring alows turbos but your car doesnt fit the requirments.

I would say some of the best cars/class to start club racing would be : Spec-Miata, IT(VW's are low cost). Later on once you are more interested in the preperation of the car and possibly changing to Production it isent to much of a jump for either class. You could then run a F-Production Limited Prep Miata(or EP Full Prep) And the same for almost all IT cars.

I would go this way...good luck.
