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? |

Best answer is as much as you want to spend and how fast do you want to go? Fastest 2 liter cars run in HSR East and engines alone can run $40,000 because they are making 225-240 hp. A top flight car can cost $75000-$100,000 to build. These cars are running 2:08 at Daytona, 2:26 at Sebring. Pretty amazing when you consider Grand Am GS 996's are only running 2:03 at Daytona and Rolex GT cars 1:55 at Daytona with 400 hp. All that said one can have just as much fun doing DE's and running a stock 4. The fun is in the competition at whatever level you choose to compete at.
