other than the basics, what would you say the first step should be?

As soon as one of us Mopar guys would build a Neon, we would get horsepower put on us, like Mopar combos always do.....

A friend of mine will be coming over with the Hemi Under Glass cuda

No fun if you can't pull wheelies. We learn that at an early age.

You pull all the REALLY BIIIIG Wheelies you want...I encourage you to please, as I think it adds the COOL FACTOR. I want everyone I race to do wheelies. (Well, not the other FWD guys, unless you can...Just don't tell me how, because it is a trick I don't want to learn).

Guaranteed, I will even be watching in the mirror I like em' so much! (All in good humor ok?)

I don't see anything in the rules requiring the cars to run facing forward....

I don't either. Could be you are forgetting the rule that says (and I am paraphrasing here) "If something is not shown as permitted to do, ask first..."

And staging the car backwards is certainly not shown as a "permitted action." Not anywhere I have seen.

I think the answer would be a hard NO.

In the grocery store, turn the cart around (make sure nobody is nearby), now attempt to push it fast and attempt to steer it easily with the caster wheels nearest you and the locked wheels away. Driving a car with rear wheel only steering...Oh boy. Almost as crazy as driving fast on only 2 wheels. Lol.

But, it is Cool! (And experienced Class Racers who can, are the very best at it too). Then there are the other ones who get 3 wheels in the air, and that always ends badly.

Get a Neon and buy the book.

The '80s turbo 2.2 cars may be even simpler to catch the index.

As a project during Covid I found a clean '85 Chrysler Wagon with the 2.2 turbo. Some basic set up and improvements and we had a .60 under stocker that my 16 year old could drive to the track if wanted.

The car was surprisingly consistent once we figured out the 60'

.60 under for less then $7,000 CDN.....thats only $32.00 USD!

Not a Neon but it does get "cool factor" points for being a wagon!
