What keeps the DP out of ITR? Do you have a recomendation for a class or a car that is versatile and competitive other than the overcrowded miata classes? I am looking to invest in a race package (i.e. spares and a trailer). Even if I get an old RX7 or something, I will probally not be able to financially step up any time soon. So, I would like to get something I can grow with for a few years while the only thing really keeping me from being somewhat competitive is my driving skills. Spec E30 is great in NASA, but no where else and formula cars seem expensive and hard to maintain. A door slammer that I can do HPDEs and multi sanction events sounds best. But like I said, I'm a novice. Right now it does not look like I will be purchasing this E36. It's a shame, because it seems like a great deal, a good car, and I've been trying to put the deal together for about 2 weeks.
