The significant question is "affordable compared to what?". :-) If you want to run at the front of Spec Miata, in SCCA or NASA, you're going to be spending, literally, at least $20,000 per season. And that's a low-buck effort. Some of those guys spend $25,000 on a new engine more than once a year. If you want to run at the back of the field and just have fun, like we do, then you can do it for a couple of grand a year per car. > [...] didn't trash the car [...] In a spec class like Spec Miata, where there are big globs of evenly matched cars, you're /going/ to do body work regularly. It's just the nature of the beast. I've probably seen more seriously bent Spec Miatae than any other single class. > I might just break even. What amateur series were you planning to run that had enough payouts to cover all expenses for a season?! -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
