Thanks for all the wisdom... anyway, I am looking to have a lot of fun... so if I can run in pack that would be great. Winning is not really my greatest priority.

In racing, someone always has a bigger budget anyways.

For instance, I will probably run the Toyos from discussions on this thread... so I am not willing to spend the extra $$ for the extra second or two... at least not at this point.

I am in the Detroit area, and there are a lot of good tracks within about 5 hours.

Getting track time is my main concern for the first two years. If I am any good, I may indeed try to buy a top car someday... and perhaps the Supra will become a good training car for someone else.

The building part is half of the fun for me, as I want my son (and me) to learn from it.

Thanks,
Matt
