Maybe 1:24, brain is hazy and I don't even know if that class still exists. Pro Truck maybe? Anyway, I recall looking into it a bit and you could pick up a used truck with decent qtys of spares (shock, springs, wheels) for around $15-20K. I certainly remember thinking it was serious bang for the buck. Heck, if you can run under 1:30s on that track in that price range you are doing pretty good
I went to look at the track records and while the WSIR site looks decent, the records haven't been kept up at all - it still shows my old friend Chuck McKinney holding the GT2 record. That would have been probably close to 20 years ago now in a Porsche 914 with a 6 cyl at 1:27 - I highly doubt that would stand in GT2 that long...
edit - after hitting send I popped over to the WSIR site and realized the date is there - 5/95 on Chuck's record, yeah, I doubt that can hold that long haha.
