Re: What would you build?
"D" Seems like it has more advantages, especially if it is a combination that is not popular.
(1) You can make it competitive in class without having to break the bank.
(2) You can develop a combination that is not so difficult to maintain.
(3) You can go fast enough to qualify at Indy if you want to.
(4) You don't have to worry about somebody outspending you or out-tricking you on technology.
(5) If you're smart enough to figure one out, you can be competitive ET-wise and race it for years - long enough to learn how to drive and go some rounds without having to financially keep up with the deluge of technology.
The big negative is that you probably don't get to go head-to-head and have the satisfaction of beating someone in a true contest. It's one type of satisfaction when you beat somebody in your own class, but it's different when you can beat everyone who has a combination just like yours.
