You and Lee are both like my dad. When we bought our '89 Red Devil
back in late '92 it was a frame and boxes of parts. The owner was in
the process of a teardown and rebuild when he got interested in Mini
Sprints (I think, it's been awhile) with his son. So before we could
run the car, Solo only, he had to put it together. He learned a lot
about these cars doing that.
And he is a tinkerer, and this car and class is just what he
likes. Work on the car, run it. If it doesn't run like you want it
to, figure out a solution and change the car, within the rules of
course. :-) And he's changed this car many times over the years and
it just gets better. Every car has been tweaked, some more than
others. Right Jim.

BUY A LATER MODEL CAR NOT AN EARLY MODEL CAR.
I'm speaking for myself here, but I suspect that Lee shares my view.
I bought an older car, I've spent WAY to much money on it, and WAY
more time on it than it is worth. But, I've thoroughly enjoyed the
process of ripping things apart and learning about what makes a race
car work. I would not have been very happy with something else. What
I have is now my own. My blood (yes that too) sweat, toil and money
make the car MINE, an extension of me almost. I'm happy with it,
even if it is a stone on a track, even if I can't drive it well. 8-)
BUY WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY, BE IT OLD OR NEW.
