I know that Spike has a company named FOZ for mini-sprints, so maybe they could whip up a TQ for anyone with the right money. The list could go on!

I'm pretty sure that Stealth is a thing of the past. However, I know that there are a few older Stealth cars floating around, so a used one might be an option. Along those lines, there are a lot of used cars floating around. It doesn't seem that many are being built new, however. Check out UMRA.com and click on Garage Sale, or visit other sites, like Dirt Track Trader. There are some good cars out there!

I know Jon mentioned some chassis to look for, but here are some more. Stewart, Beast, Stealth, Arrow (Bob McClure), Nichols, Ellis, and Kreeper. Breka and Goff Chassis are hard to come by, but are contenders. You could also add older chassis, like Lowe and Kleine if you're just wanting to get your feet wet. Although, it seems like Tate Martz has had success with his 1980-something Lowe Chassis.

Best of luck in your search!
Kreeper are just bigger Magnums. (You'll laugh if you understand it) Not sure if Tommy Knight is building them any longer.

Totally forgot about the Stewarts. Good cars but a little hard to fit into if you're a taller guy.
