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?

Lonnie-

Started to bring my family to autox and track event when the boys were 8 and 10. They loved the excitement, the cars, and the speed. Sometimes they'd help gather cones at the end of an event. They started helping me change tires and were swapping out brake pads by the time they were 10 and 12. Kids love to be included- especially in things that "big people" do for fun. My oldest, now 20 is an Acura Tech and working his way toward open track. My younger son is now 18 and does track prep (brakes, shocks,tires) and takes lap times when he can make it to a track event.

Little kids (4+) really dig minibikes, which is a fun family activity. Enjoy being a Dad, they grow up quickly and any one of their smiles is worth more than any trophy you can get autoxing. You could, of course, buy a kart and work as driving coach and crew chief, but then they'll learn quicker than you did and be young enough to have better vision and reflexes. The options are endless.
