Beginner Asphalt Circle Track - Duster??

The class of racing your prob talking about with civics is a 4 cylinder only class. A rwd fox chassis mustang notchback coupe would prob be best. The 2.3L 4 bangers in these cars use an iron head and are just plain tough to kill. Its the same engine in l
Mid 70s pinto runabouts and its called out as a 2300cc in these cars.

Stay away from the fwd cars, the rwd ones can take more of a pounding for longer, plus by the nature of their design you can set the suspensions up better for circle track. The fox chassis is light, and theres plenty of circle track hot roddy stuff for it. You can score one of these dirt cheap, even check your local police auctions, or even tell your local junkyard your looking for one you may be able to get them to hook you up with a complete fresh one just coming into the yard for free if you agree to use the sides of the car to advertize for their business at your local track.

Selling advertizing space on your car can help you finance a fun adventure with your daughter. Check out speedway motors too. Im sure they have 4 banger class parts and roll cage kits.

Save the duster for the street. Maybe later after she gets the racin outta her systen, you both can do a father daughter project and restore/hot rod one of these for the street.
