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, Only you can say what you're comfortable driving.. 10 seconds? 15 seconds?
Stick shift? Automatic only?
Brand?
Build your own? Buy turnkey?
As you can see , there are plenty of guys here that are willing to help.
You should probably give us more to work with.
I would be glad to advise you with good advice.
