<< Forget SCCA H production racing with a streetable car. the HP cars are
so incredibly beyond normal street cars it's hard to imagine. The
available run hours on a 7500+ rpm motor just dont fit in with going to
the grocery store. And if you had a more streetable motor you'd get
lapped every 2-3 laps. And a million other little things that if left
streetable would put you even more seconds per lap off the entire
field. I have several friends that race HP cars, they've been doing it
for 20 years, each. They have a great time, they are wonderfull folks,
but these are very quick cars that sound more like model airplane
engines than 40 year old Sprites. >>
Mike is right on, I suggest the only logical alternative, an Alfa Giulietta -
spider or sprint. They are universally acceptable, relatively cheap to build
and maintain, great fun to drive and very competitive. Use it for SCCA school
to get their license but dont try to compete in regular SCCA events.
