Sounds great. Here is another thought. On the payback part. Depending on how good a racer you are you could say get a better interest rate in the paying back of the loan. If your not so good you would have to pay more because you are a risk sort of speaking. Of course the better you are the bank as it were would trust you more. Glad you liked the thought.
