New to this site, hay all.

This street car competition stuff has really gotten my attention. My buddy and I will be going to the Road America event to check it out. We're also hatching a plan on what needs to happen to get out there. These first couple years will be tough as far as building popularity.

Might it be that guys see the high dollar cars out there and don't realize that it doesn't need to be a SEMA show winner to have fun with this stuff? Hell, any early comaro with a few suspension and brake tweaks would be great fun, Not unlike taking your car to a drag strip for a few runs.

I think for the fisrt few years running a street car event in conjuction with another event, race SCCA/NASA/etc. or car show would get the attention of the car comunity that may not be aware of these events.

In the past I have spent many miles and dollars road racing motorcycles. One thing that's great about these events is that it's one or two events, not a season long grind of racing. That makes it do-able for a family guy who can do a weekend of fun but not an entire race season.

I will be giving it a go as soon as I get a few more things done on the car.
