Campbell,
I guess the question you have to ask yourself is whether or not you plan to really stay with an open trailer.

If your willing to stay with an open trailer in order to enable you to...

I dont know for certain that stickers are the fastest....

Early this year I went to Carolina motorsports track twice.

The first time I was on sticker toyo's on my ITB car. Only raced saturday.

guess I can add to the long list of "no ballast" cars.

I'm about 230 and the car is about 100lbs overweight.

Undercoating is gone...

I guess there must have been a lot of 140lb guys racing...

hey ben,
yeah, I did start out auto-x'ing, back in the eighties.
Won the FL region champ. in ES back in '91....then pretty much stopped. Got too busy with college, career, etc.

Got into...

Okay, pretty much confirmed my thoughts about personal driving coaching.
From pm's I've got and your responses on here, I think that is the way I will go.

I plan to have Data acquisition in the...

I'm sure some will have their favorites for one reason or another.

If you came into some money, and decided you wanted to get some of the best driver training in the U.S., where would you go?
...

I'm certainly not taking anything away from any of the prod class drivers...I'm sure they are worlds more talented then I...
But, in that class it can be more about money....

T3 and SSB are...

It is going to be really difficult...
I would suggest this...if your really serious, and truly think you have what it takes...

go up to a Grand Am team with a proposal.
As follows:

You give...

Yes, I can see how a support or tech type job for a team/company will require lots of travel.
Unfortunately, I dont think that will work for me.

For one, my wife will not allow it :114:



I...

yes, there would certainly be quite a bit of overhead per event.
And then if no one shows, then your stuck with the bill.
Yep, finding instructors and workers has got to be difficult/hit or miss.
...

you mean the war the dem's voted for? :D

Your right, politics should stay off the board :P

lets move on... :eclipsee_steering:

I've got to agree that if one of you are not on board with having children, then you probably shouldnt.

Your life will not be the same AK (after kids). And, it shouldnt be either. Your spare...

One of the idea's tossing about in my head was opening up a track day business like Carguys.

I really have to do more research on this, but it sure seems like a great way to make a living.

I can second the Toyota...
If you want the best quality and value for your hard earned buck, cant beat 'em

I've owned both american and japanese, and do not see myself buying american again...

I love having a budget car with budget wheels....

Everytime I lose, all I have to do is blame the car! :026:

Takes the pressure off everytime :P

I know there has been some talk on here about these fiero's being midpack cars...

If you know this (or strongly suspect it :114: ), I wouldnt worry about spending big bucks on wheels.

I'd run...

Been reading this since the start....and I still cannot see a valid, logical reason why we just cannot dual classify these cars.

Let the MR2 owners who want to stay in A...stay. They can spend...

I'm a guy on a real tight budget too...
I built my car, which was not a common car by any stretch (ITB suzuki swift)....

After all was said and done, I had a mid-packer that cost me about 8K...

As Burt Reynolds said in the movie "Stroker Ace" when interviewed by a T.V. reporter about the essence of Nascar racing....Burts response was "Well...you go down to the end of the straight, and turn...

Solution....Get a showroom stock car!

Seriously, this is a route I would have taken if there were more then one or two at every single race I've ever been to....I really dont like racing alone.
...

I still cannot help but think that all of the issues with this would be resolved with dual classification.

Why is dual classification so taboo?

What are the problems/disadvantages to this?

Spinetti,

I drive a suzuki swift in B, and the weight it is given is also more then stock curb weight. My minimum is 1795 and I'm pretty sure they weigh less then this stock....

Plus, race...

Ok, I see the wheel problem...

How about this? To run in B they have to abide by the wheel situation, and add weight....

But, they can also run in A, just as they do now.

That way, they can...
