I learned that one of my competitors in CMC in my region works for Hot Rod and has been doing a bunch of articles on his build-up to a CMC car. I got the April issue today at the store, but this was apparently the 3rd installment of more to come. I'll get the subsequent issues, but I was wondering if anyone has installments one and two?

I feel much the same as you do. However, the appeal of CMC is budget and a friendly atmosphere. "Exploring" the grey areas begins the journey BACK to SCCA ... MHO ...

What Matt did was typical drag racer turned road racer mentality. Money buys wins.

...ah the joys of racing (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

...this is the way it works guys...gonna hafta face it someday....all the NASA="bunchofgoodolguysracingcleanandcheap" and SCCA="thedeviloftheracingworld" ideology's are a bit off....in fact both series have their pros and cons....as you would expect...does SCCA have the bureacratic mentality of the government...oftentimes...but you are kidding yourselves if you buy hook, line and sinker that with NASA, all "your buddies" in the paddock are following the letter of the law for the series and the competitors benefit...

Show me a rulebook, and I will show you guys who are cheatin' it....IN EVERY SERIES INVENTED.

The whole HR build off shows that in glaring detail.....and I can GAURANTEE 'ol Mr. King is NOWHERE near the first to think....."hmmmm, no tear downs eh....."

Racing is as racing is.....been that way forever.....and to think I just heard of the going price of a "SPEC MIATA" motor the other day.....$18,000 from Sunbelt...
