"While this may be interesting to some, it pales beside the drama that is 43 men battling on a half-mile oval."

To each his own, I guess. My favorite is SCCA club racing, or what's left of it. I ran a '59 AH Sprite in H Production back in the 60s at club races in CA. I think I paid $450 for the car, and ran its wheels off. I never won a single race, but it was hellacious fun, that H Production class.

A guy could go racing then, just because he wanted to. Now, it's virtually impossible, except in the vintage racing circuit, and those cars are getting really expensive.

Very true. How about a 1982 Chevette league?

There's still racing levels that allow cheap racing.

I can't remember which ones, but I know several folks who race VW golfs and Dodge Omni's and have more fun with them and spend little money on upkeep since parts are very available. One guy told me he could get me into an Omni, race ready for under $2000.

Those cars even make cheap club/pro rally cars.
