If you can put the speed thing to the side, I think you would benefit from actually attending 1 trackday first, and then deciding what you want to do with the car. But if you are still insiting on being ricky racer I would recommend to maybe go to a school first and use one of their cars.

I see what your saying, but at least if the car is setup 1st, I can concentrate more on driving. My car would be pitifull right now (except between turns
).
I have been drag racing the car for 13 years. I know if I start going to a road track, Just like drag rading, I will love it, I have not gone because my car has not been setup to take advantage of a road track.
This winter I will put a bar in for now and get the suspension/brakes squared away. The brakes seem to be an easy choice(C5), but suspension/shocks/steering is the hard part as there are alot of choices and different directions to go. I am taking a liking to those AFX spindles!
I have stock cut coils in the front now. I guess it would be as easy as welding a perch on both the lower control arm and and up into the stock spring pocket to get a coilover shock in there. I wonder if they make a 500+ lb spring for a standard coilover?
