Well I think the time has come.

As my son gets older things will get more and more expensive. I need to plan for my families future and that's not being done sufficently now.

Another reason is that I've lost alot of the fun factor. I really want to do this to WIN. Which is bad as it has made most events a business only type attitude, thing.

I have fished since I was 10. And basically stopped completely years ago. It's a bug I can't shake. No matter how hard I try. This will be my new hobby.

FWIW if you act NOW the car will be for sale CHEAP.

Or maybe it would be better to part the car out?

Geez, the Nittos get no respect...... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif)

I have nothing but respect for the zombie Nittos. When they were young and fresh, they had the "face" that launched a thousand (actually far too may thousand) drivetrain repair dollars (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I still say that allowing race tires in Stock and Street Prepared was a huge mistake. It greatly increases the amount of work and money required on the car both at home and at (before and after) the event (and ya gotta count everything - tools, trailer, tow vehicle, etc). Yes, Nationals would still require buying fresh, shaved street tires, but for the rest of us buying new street tires every year would still be a LOT cheaper in the long run.

If I was starting fresh today I'd build the car for STU. Yeah, some of the on-course race tire thrill would be gone, but simple "arrive and drive" would be much more "family friendly" and therefore more fun for us family guys.

No, this isn't as off-topic as it might seem, it's just a sales pitch (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Lonnie, have you thought about trading the ESP car for something more fun (overall, though maybe not on-course) and family-friendly, such as an STU car?
