actually, yes. Wife's condition for me doing the whole thing was that it has to be built safer than the class I'll be running. So its getting a full cage kit that is designed and certified for door to door road racing on SCCA pro circuit. But you'll like how I do it so I can still safely drive it on the street.
Chris, That makes no sense. Get yourself a GCR, check out the local regions and see what, if any, classes are run that you could drive in. Then come up with a five year plan that includes saving up $5k so you can get your license.
