Steve's idea is probably the best. We have a guy here locally that has a race shop. He preps, stores and hauls for the car owner. The car owner doesn't hardly lift a finger, just drives it. The nice thing about having your own car is that it is your own car. Nobody else is sitting in it and making adjustments or changes that make you have to relearn it every time you run. Plus, you know your car will always be available when you want to use it. You decide if it needs tires, brakes, performane improvement parts, etc. And as I said before, make sure you take in to consideration what your cash flow would be if you had to write a check for a pile of scrap. Doesn't have to be your fault to total one, you just have to be there!
