IMO if I was selecting a car to race in the future I would probably look at the last 2-3 years of results from the ARRC. see what cars are on top. Then compair those to any new additions to the class over the past 2 years. If the car has been eligable and not winning for 3 or more years then thier are a couple issues. Lack of knowledge or ability to win. if you are looking for less of a challenge race somehting that has already been proven and has resources.

If you are looking for the challenge above and beyone winning then choose an oddball that you do research on and think could win (thats what we did)!!! The research end will take up more time that the racing and probably even more time then the prep, so be prepaired...

ITA: Integra, 240, CRX, Neon or a Ford Capri just for fun!!!
ITB: AUDI, Volvo, Opel GT, Alfa spider, Omni, Swift, VW Golf (for endurance races) or a million others... you could even be pro active and hope that the MR2 and the RX7 get reclassed someday...

Good Luck, and if you think about the Audi, give me a call
