Wow, thanks for the responses! I guess I did leave out a key piece of 
info - I now live in Leavenworth, KS, (North of KC) and I believe the 
nearest track is Heartland Park in Topeka.  
As a response to Simon, I certainly do realize that money, time and 
family support all factor into the equation, and I appreciate your frank 
comments!  You may find it odd, but my affinity for American muscle 
tends to stay on the street.  6.5 liters under full throttle makes a 
sweet sound in a straight line, but there is a lot to be said for 
cornering and managing the powerband.  I find the smaller displacement 
racers at least equally appealing and (apparantly) challanging to drive, 
and from what I've seen so far, somewhat more affordable.
I must also agree with the comment that vintage racers are, as a group, 
a very friendly and helpful lot.  My limited experience so far has been 
nothing but positive.
Thanks again for the responses.   I recently saw some info on a Devin 
racer in the late '50s.  Anyone have some info on the Devin? From what 
I've read, it looks like it carried several makes of engines.

Jon
