Racers/Drivers! Plans For Next Season.

try NASA Spec E30,,,,good racing with big fields

a nicely done SM is almost 40K.
you can still build a 1.6 for under 10k. but a good motor will set you back 7k.
the price for running SM has gone way up since its inception but it is still cheaper than alot of the other classes. look at DSR, FA, FC, GT, BP, those classes cost way more for one race than most spec miata racers spend all season. especially the sports racer guys. 2 or 3 15K motors a weekend for a 125K car.

He's a LOT higher than Spec Miata, he's a mechanic for some big series cars.

HOWEVER, Spec E30 is the shit. It is very cheap to run, the spec mods are very cheap to buy and you're right the fields are huge.

Spec e30 is a fun class too. similar to SM. eventually if NASA does it right, it will become just like SM, but thats not always a good thing. there are a lot of problems with the SM class as far as parity and technical regulations.

and Matt, yea, the straightaway speeds are a bit slow, but the cornering and finding the absolute limits is what the class is all about(obviously you know all this stuff). as far as SCCA goes, its an awesome class just because of the turnout and the talent involved. its not easy to win a national race. there are a lot of pro guys that still run SM just to fine tune skills and get endurance. Herr, Pobst, Espenlaub and many others can be found pounding out laps at the 13 hour in SM.

and good god, who the hell is building your motors that makes it cost 35K? Cosworth?
