Road race dedicated S4

Well, so I have this S4 with a blown coolant seal.

I don't want to sell it after all the money I put into it, and I don't feel like rebuilding the engine unless I port it. Problem is that in CA, ported engines are a hassle. So, I was thinking about tunrning my FC into a road-race OHV.

Are there any members out there who compete in their FCs? What kind of class should I look into if I want to take this seriously?

Yes there are a few of us that road race our 7's, some more seriously than others (Silkwork ). To be honest with you if you have a place to store the car, a trailer to put it on, and a truck to tow it, I would go for it. CA emissions are getting out of hand. I have thought many times about doing the same to my GTUs. But keep this in mind you will have a lot of money invested in a car you will not drive much. Are you ok with that? These are the kind of questions you should be asking your self.

As far as not being able to drive it that much, you could always take it to the autocross on weekends.
