Hello. You will have a blast racing one of these cars. AS for finding one make sure that the frame is Y2K legal. If you find a car call or E-mail Lisa Will at a 600 racing with the VIN / FRAME number and she will tell you the history. The tag is just inside the left door at the bottem near the floor on the frame. Also make sure that the car has up to date shocks and Alu. spindles for the new rules next year. THe main thing that cost the most is the motor. Sealed vs open, ask 10 people get 10 anwsers. I picked up a used car and it had a stock 1200. I put in a sealed with all the good stuff and broke the crank in less than 10 races. So, I just got a new open motor so my fellow racers and I can work on it. That is some thing to think about if you do not live near 600 with the new engine building rules. But, to get started as long as the motor as the least amount of races you can find would be good.
People will tell you that "the car is fast" well the truth is they are all fast and the driver / set up / and tires is the biggest part of going fast in these cars. And find a car that the owner is quitting, not just selling a spare car. Get as many parts as you can with the deal. I picked up my car with a ton of parts gears, springs, spare body, tires, and trailer. The owner was going ARCA racing.
