I just finished reading about the 912 racer in Excellence, and was starting to feel inspired, thinking of ways to come up with the $$ to properly prep my 914 for the track.
Before I do anything drastic, I'd like to hear from the guys that track their cars regularly. What type of racing do you do, and how much $$$ does a season cost you? What are the primary expenses? |

Although I've never raced (except autox) I had a chance to talk to Peter Revson back when he was driving McClaren cars before he was killed and I asked him what it feels like to go racing on a "big track" he laughed and said I could duplicate the experience by standing in front of a big fan and throwing $100.00 bills into the air by the handful....he was a loss, good driver and very approachable.
