The only record holder you could get for $10K would be a front wheel drive car,maybe.Look at Yak's
Mustang,couldn't touch that car for $10K.In your so called real racing scenario a competitive car would probably be $25K and up.How long would thew class survive and grow at those costs?
Mike;
There hasn't been a topic of importace on this site since it's beginning where ego's and agendas haven't
torn the subject apart.You have everyone going for the same goals (set records and or win races)and there are guys here willing to do anything to get there,legal or not.
We just elected a guy who is going to "change" our direction.So far over the recent past the advocates for
change have gotten their way and we are slowly morphing into what used to be SS.
