Where'd you get the date? I was told it was either that weekend or the next one when I called (1 week ago).

Data is great to have but spending your money on seat time and coaching is a good "investment", too.

They usually have the same weekend, this year it was the 20th. I am guessing on the 19th.

i haven't read through all this thread, just this page of it actually, and so i gather that dr. k is building a track car out of a wreck but doesn't know the racing rules?

dr k, why don't you just buy a track car. it's half the money, none of the time, and it'll comply with class rules. it sounds like you're in the midst of creating problems for yourself.

Because given the parts I have laying around, it's not half the money.

Nice find, and affordable. Unfortunately, I need to drive to the track, so this would also cost me a trailer, a tow vehicle, and a divorce. This is a bit more than I actually expect to spend, but likely much better sorted.

I wonder why it hasn't sold for the three months it's been listed. Anyone know what he was asking before the price drop?

Add headlights, front turn signals, and a historic tag and you CAN drive it to the track.
