Good info ,but I believe competitive class racing is well beyond my budget and I was just asking the question in general. I would probably be better off setting up my current car for NMCA Nostalgia Muscle Car or possibly building another car for NSS and staying close to home.
I'm 90 miles north of Indy, so there are a number of tracks/races within an 8 hour drive. This is just a hobby to me. As I get closer to retirement and my home is paid off, it could take up more of my time.
