See ya on the track...

Great attitude! My brother and I are in the same boat, doing this as affordably as possible. Whether we ever run towards the front or not, though, NOTHING is as enjoyable as a weekend at the racetrack, and especially when you're there with your own car. Keeps the adrenaline flowing, the wheels turning upstairs (slowly for me), and a smile on the face. Good luck!!!

Favorite tool to remove undercoating---- A curb!
"Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take the wall with you."
