I heartily agree about the TRC. I took it when they were at Laguna. My head
instructor was Jon Beekhus (SP?) of Indycar pit lane commentary fame. I think
it's still true that Formula Vee is about the cheapest way to go racing. The
original requestor on this thread did say he wanted a closed wheel car, tho.
It's also true that a dual-purpose car is usually unhappy in either medium.
