They just opened an IMCA dirt track near me. I'm seriously considering building a hobby stock or something. I can't afford a modified, but I kinda have an itch that needs to be scratched.

Please don't unless you are very, very financially stable. Racing is a money pit.

I'm well aware. My family has been racing for generations, to the point where they have their own track. I can't do it right now anyways, gotta get the unfinished project car taking up space in my garage done first.

Sounds like fun ... what kinda car are you thinking of converting? Just curious.

I have no idea. I'll probably ask around and see if anyone wants to sell off one. There's always someone that is tired of burning money, lol.

Start with shifter carts man. You need that excitement thing.....trust me these are cheap enough and plenty goddamn fast enough to get you that fix ya junkie.

70mph an inch or less of the ground? Me thinks you haven't done it before.

150mph 3 inches from the ground.

I had a little 125cc for awhile. Also had a 350 bored 60 over, pushing around 600hp which was more than I could actually hook up without ending up sideways, but man, getting on the gas was the best feeling in the world.

I've been considering a track day car kit for years but alas it's getting put off again. I bought back my wrecked RX-8 from insurance. Low mileage motor w/ a stage 3 turbo. Didn't really have a choice. I have found a separate blown motor RX-8 to drop it in so interesting times ahead. Gonna be busy in my shop making a reason not to drive the truck to work.

I'd love to get my hands on a Holden Torana V8 and just bush bash the shit out of it.
