LOL Dad your forgiven about the boat anchor remark believe it or not we have had alot of fun with it in the shop. Andy you guys have change some to allow more cars. I still cant see a tg beating a mini maybe give a good race non wing though. I kinda would like to see a tq with a wing. I dont know how built my engine is the main thing is it 1100cc but it is old. I got it cheap it runs good and i dont want to thow it away. I really do understand the affordable thing but i believe it can never happen unless you put a cap on how much money people spend. people who want to live through thier kids will sell thier soul and the familes lol. Two of my kids grew up in racing one still does it. All have kids of thier own now and they plan to let them race but we do it as a family thing mainly in offroad. but when i bought this car we thought we would do a little oval racing. With my friend buying a car earlier this year and now buying more cars from Wayne we will be around this kind of racing for a bit. I believe racing is about how good a mechanic you are how good a driver you are but unforturnely that does cost money. Back in the old days of midget and sprint racing they tried all kinds of engines. I dont have an answer on cost right now i dont think anyone does.
