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,

Well Steve, good luck. My best advice is to pick any Chevy with a big carburetor. Parts are cheap compared to Ford and Mopar.
