I fouled against Kevin. I had a great time, my plan is to return to the 2018 US Nationals with a car I am building, the "eBay CJ" Mustang. I am keeping track of what my car will cost to build, with some of the divisional races being 2 for 1 , and national open races, it shouldn't be cost prohibitive to get enough grade points. I don't play golf,go fishing, or take big $$$ vacations.Indy is # 1 on my list

Being "new" to this type of racing, I really need all the input I can get. Thanks.
