Well, Back in high school I almost got in to stock car racing with my buddies. a 83 Aspen with a 318...I had the cash and could pay for everything myself but called it off when they couldent pay for gas alone...
Fast forward a few years, I was in Southern On' and spent a few weekends in Shannonville with my little 'Stang. It was a hoot even tho it was a V6. 17.002 was my best...
Last year I tried to get in to sled racing. After spending two months of prepping and tuening my old sled I got turned down at tech becasue I had a steel cleated track as per OEM 1979...
Now. I want in to somtething "cheep" : and easy to transport (means bikes). Both tracks nearest me are from three to four hours away on a good day... It would cost WAY too much to haul any car that far. A trailer behind our new Jeep or in the back of my old PU fits the bill.
Whats the best platform? I think I want to stick to Drag but am open to road track as well. Both tracks are on each site.
Is it best to just get a stocker, change the wires and flog it or build an older bike? I do want to try both aspects in the beginner level to get a feel for what I like best.
Advice?
