Really sad that someone went to all this trouble before finding out that
wheel-to-wheel racing, even at the vintage level, didn't steam their latti.
For
those of you who have wondered if you'd enjoy racing, spend some time in the
pits with your local vintage racing group, pay the money to take a serious
racing
course (will be money well spent whether or not you ever race), and
borrow/rent a car to go through the novice weekend. Only after that, should
you start
spending the money to put your own car on the track.
For those of you who are looking for a way to get into racing without taking
two years and lots of more bucks to build a similar car, this sounds like a
great turn-key deal, especially if you're just a little over average size. Pay
Fuqua a grand or two to refresh this engine, and you're on the track for less
than about $12 grand.
