Some of you have seen my dad at the track. Well he's got the bug pretty bad now and wants to start a car build up. He has a partner and they are thinking of starting with a streetable car in time trials and then move it into CMC (more likely CMC2) in a year or two.
Soooo...we are looking for a car and thoughts/advice.
Right now they don't have a trailer or a place to store a race car. Dad does have a Navigator that he could tow with. His partner is in San Antonio, dad is in Dallas. Dad is relatively thin, his partner, not so much.
My suggestion would be to buy a decent late model Mustang or Corvette that could be driven to the track and back home with a/c, stereo, good seats, etc and have minimal maintenance and good reliability. I really think a Corvette is the way to go here, maybe a later model Mustang Cobra. When the time is right, buy a built race car like the Tony G will likely have for sale in a year to a year and a half based on his car sale history.
Thoughts and encouragements are welcomed.
