I want to start racing again. Stock or bracket maybe both on weekends.

I had a 65 Mustang back in the 70s that I modified and got really good results with 410 gears, 320 duration cam, dual point plate, and 850 CFM carburetor...high 12s and lots of fun.

I want to have that fun again but I don't know anything about cars of today. Any recommendations on a car/truck to start with? Is there something that has really good performance from a weight to horsepower ratio? What has plenty of parts available that a working guy can afford?

Any recommendations on modifications that give you a good bang for you buck but keeps me in a class I can compete in as a new comer?

Is there a good place to look for a car?

Thanks for your help and hope to see you at the track soon,
Steve
