I think, from my personal experience, the Sprint car, 410, will allow you to pick up sponsors easier, used, good parts are very plentiful, and at the end of the day, if you don't have the urge to be a wins every race kinda guy, you will probably have more return on you investment, plus, it's a hell of a lot easier to explain to someone what kind of race car do you own, not, but try any of the other 2 choices!
Them old Sprint Cars are Thirsty Beasts even the little ones. Then you have to be honest with your self and ask yourself >>Can I come up with enough friends to move that thing around both at the track and back home. There arent many open wheel cars you can start up and drive to the track.
