And I don't think it's going to be in an F-body.
I've got a 97 SS with tons of mods. It's an absolute blast on the track, but rather expensive. Tires, brakes, fuel, and not to mention opti sparks (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) . I love HPDE's, and I still have tons to learn, but I am dreaming of wheel to wheel racing. I've been doing HPDE's on and off for 12 years now, and I'm very comfortable in the experienced groups. I've been thinking for years about Spec E30. It seems to be in my price range, but the cars, to me, are boring. I know everyone raves about how much fun the series is, but it doesn't excite me. Spec Miata is another boring car, just more expensive. FFR challenge would be fun, but out of my price range. I've lately been thinking about Legends cars. Either that or the Thunder Roadsters. I've heard they are a blast to drive, relatively inexpensive to maintain, and if you crash, it's a lot easier to fix than an old street car. I live in VA, as you guys know, Charlotte, only 3 hrs away, is home to racing. The legends cars were born here, and has the largest turnout. Seems like you can get a legends car for less than $10K used. That's more or less the cost of a Spec E30. I also know they can and do race them on road courses. I'm not sure what I think of the small circle tracks, but I'm sure they'd be fun. Anyway, what do you guys think? This is something I'm looking at doing in about 2 years. I'm going to be heading to pilot training for the Air National Guard sometime early next year, but after that, I'll have some free time again. It'll give me time to save up the money. Thanks guys, Steve |

Stay away from AI, way too much $$$$ and the rules are set up for the new Ford Factory Race Cars to winn all the time, CMC is where its at unless there is no CMC in your area then spec E30 might be fun, but try CMC its cheap and you'll have a blast...
my .02 cents |
