Decisions Decisions

My dad has been saving up some money and is still getting his assets in line, but he really wants to get a race team together. He doesn't want to focus on any one style of racing, AutoX, RallyX, track days. Anything to go fast and get squirrely. We have focused on RallyX recently, but the sport is new and events are few and far between. The closest event to our humble abode in charleston is once a year, 3 hours away in Cheraw SC. So although rally is my true passion, it looks like I'm sticking to the pavement. So what to get my hands on? Well, my dad's porsche is setup for AutoX, so we have a car for that. My car is fairly versatile, but has to be my DD, so i can't put it on track. Drifting takes way too much money in tires, and i'd have to prep a car for that. So where am I left? A turbo'd B16 honda wagon w/ 4WD would be amazing and cheap for RallyX. Oh how I wish I could lay my tracks down, leaving the trails of dust and mud in the afternoon air, sliding at full throttle, feeling the G's of a car beyond the edge of grip being manipulated with my right foot and my hands. One day, I will, but for now, I just have to wait.

Keep the motor running
