Honda Challenge Cars

[D_Eclipse9916]

If you want to W2W I imagine you'll want to do a series that is still growing or has heavy participation, which I don't believe East Coast HC has either of, because you don't want to invest all the money of building the car, only to get slotted into a dead/uncompetitive field.

My vote would be to put the rollbar in the GSX and just keep having fun. If you're going to make a racecar, that will (eventually) also require a tow vehicle and trailer. In my opinion you'll want to rent/own a house (as opposed to an apartment/townhouse) before you do either of those so that you'll the space... Building a racecar isn't cheap by any means, no matter how much you get for your GSX, so keep that in mind too.

If you were me, you'd have a spreadsheet built so you could establish timelines and expenditures to be able to help make things a little easier to evaluate. When you do this and take the emotion out of decision-making, you might be surprised what the most prudent course of action may be.

Dave you might be right about the s2000 thing in terms of where its competitive, I was just giving an example replacement vehicle that was much easier on consumables, and still enough "oomph" that I wouldnt hate it (just would, once youve had the power, a car that cant reach speed by the end of the stragith that I already have halfway down pits would be rough).

Dave I have done spreadsheets in terms of costs per event and getting the car roll caged, stripped, and maintain the vehicle. (It is a lot to be honest). It also comes down to track time too. I "think" the gsx will be fine once I figure out this issue, but at those power levels and high g-forces, things break, and im getting tired of it. I just want something "stock" in terms of not crazily modified.

The prudent, non-emotional decision is getting rid of the thing. It sucks, but thats why I made this thread. I had been doing some expenditures of the past year and realized it was out of hand, even though I have made money on pretty much every part ive bought and sold.
