I started racing a VW Rabbit when I was a student. Built it out of the JCwhitney catalog and drove it to the track. I'm now 38, own two race cars (EP FC, & Formula SCCA), an enclosed trailer and an open one, and I would venture to say close to $60k in equipment to keep it all running and racing. Am I addicted? you betcha.... Would I do it again? same answer.

Welcome to the club !

It indeed gets worse. Going on the track just shows you that even the best road cars can be improved for the track (brakes, suspension, power, power, power, oh and did I mention power ?)

I have had 3 trackdays so far with my FD. No problems. Well except for the disconnected MAP sensor when I thoguht I blew my motor
