They wont be fast at that point. (tires)
That's why they need to start out with slow tires. Then you don't need engines which are way over $8000.00 to begin with. Bottom line is a car no matter how fast can only use what it's tires allow. If you have to hunt for traction front and rear you'll probley be wishing you would've saved some money on the engine and hired a better driver.

Theres always a couple, few different opinions when it comes to race cars.
The real goal for most drivers is to improve each race. A real feeling of accomplishment cant be bought thru top of the line cars, it comes from taking your situation and improving always. Once everyone including yourself expects you to win all the time the shine can come off of it. The most fun I ever had was when I was the poorest and It was never faster then when I was slow. That's the point wannabe racers shouldn't overlook. Theres someone to race with out there, 1st or 15th.
