Hi Steve and welcome back. If you have the time and budget to do some class racing I say go for it. You don't have to spend a lot of money if you don't want to there are lots of cars put there they can be purchased at a reasonable cost, they might not be the fastest in the class but you will be in the game and will have just as much fun. I happen to see a car on Facebook a couple days ago that might interest you. I don't know much about the car but I know the seller and he's a good guy. Here's a link to the racingjunk add.

Good luck and have fun!

Buy something after it goes down the track and crosses the scales, it will be a better value.

Now that right there is some good advice! If you're going to buy, go to a sanctioned event, let the owner qualify the car and race the event, and take the car home right from there.

(Ford) folks...just a sampling of two of very best..."hoss"...it's gonna' cost U...!!!......dime rocket good to think about (based on your budget-whatever that is)...at the track/event...seeing is believing car/performance...good too...hope all works out for U...jump in the "pool".....it's lots of fun...not EZ..for sure...but...fun indeed!-Drake

Drake, I can't keep from noticing that U seem to have a "hangup" with the letter U. U aren't building one of those nasty 302/2V FFFords are U?
