Re: wheel to wheel racing

NASA doesn't have an open wheel class running at Summit Point at this time (something to consider).

I am joining the ranks of road racing after a few years doing high speed track events. I can offer you one piece of advise. Buy a race car, don't build your own. You can get some pretty fast, well built cars for pennies on the dollar compared to building your own. Even then, it's not a cheap hobby. I just spent $2200 freshening up my car in prep for the season, and there more to do.

I will be attending drivers school at summit this March, I can't wait.

And GETFAST works with both NASA and TrackDAZE.

Hope this helps

yea open wheel isn't nearly as competitive as it use to be. But the class I am in I would say is as cheap as any other class. It all depends on what your looking for. BUT open wheel cars are purpose built race cars!!! not a street car converted. Much more responsive!!
