    90% of the experienced racers here will say "What's a title ?".

    You're obsessing. We all have race cars that we don't have a clear title to. Some race cars never had titles ("where's the MSO on that Formula Vee, dude ?").

    Salvage title cars = perfect race cars.

    Show me the CarFax (just kidding)... no title needed on a racecar. Could even use a 'clunker' in theory, once you fix the engine...

    So you guys have been able to sell your race cars without any problems?

    Because I can always wait for a salvage title car to come across instead of a scrap title...

    The only time I have ever heard of it being an issue is crossing the border into Canada.

    Is a title required for this? I don't have any kind of title.

    Why would we want to sell our racecars?

    The only buyer you'd eliminate is one who wants to drive it to the track or potentially one who will transport it on a tow dolly (depending on the state laws). Pretty small number of people would fit into either of those two categories. If the car's in decent condition and you have that scrap title to show it's not a stolen car for the next owner, you're fine.

    I have the titles to all my race cars, but it is completely unnecessary.
