I'm seriously thinking about selling one of our cars and buying a used stock car for track days.

When I started racing at the local dirt track after selling my 67 camaro. I bought the whole car for 6800 ready to race and capable of winning. The driver was not capable. But I had a great time in that deal. Just the repair work from the door to door damage was insane. Plus we raced every other saturday night. It cost like 15 dollars to race as long as you made the A main race the previous weekend. When I redid the engine, the builder told me a full on engine capable of running up front where ever was 35.... I said 35K. He said no...... 3500. I said I will take 2.
