How have you enjoyed CMC? What car have you been running?

CMC was the most fun I've ever had in the car hobby. There is nothing that compares to wheel-to-wheel competition. I ran the #87 Mustang for several seasons in Northern California before moving on to Motorola Cup (Continental Tire series). I also ran another Mustang in Texas on several occasions. NASA CMC was way more fun than the pro series stuff at a fraction of the cost. You can tool around at the back of the pack and minimize chances of body damage but front runners typically do some rubbing. It's not a crash and bang show by any means, but things happen and even good drivers make mistakes. In my experience, the majority of cars will sustain damage at some point either from their own driver's error or someone else. I typically budgeted a once per year freshening and repaint but some seasons it stayed pretty clean.
