Again, no street cars, we don't want the weight or the complexity. We want purpose-specific cheap racecars.

How about Formula Vee:

I've seen these listed as low as $2500 on ebay in good condition.

How about a Renault Spec Racer?

I don't have all the details on them but they are pretty inexpensive.

FF Challenge came up too.. Formula Renault would work also, if we can get enough of them. Are those still made?

Formula Vee are a little crude, I can't come to grips with that horrible suspension.
