His though is the same as most probably are. Regardless of parts, those goals are fairly big. Hope you can do it, but I hope they are not short term goals as well.

As for fixing, well a new chassis only runs $1K or so and might be a decent way to go, since the rest of the car wasn't exactly spectacular in the first place. Or the easier option I'm leaning towards is a hammer, a little bondo an a few new parts. Just need to decide if I want to continue my efforts of making a Grand Touring car a car that turn or not. If I go with a new chassis I won't be gutting it.
When you say 7/8, do you mean the clover leaf turn? If so, my brother lost my car there the first time he was ever on the track. Fortunately, he got lucky and spun it out with out really leaving the road.

I have thought about building a car specifically for the track, but haven't had the time to do too much yet.

Motorcycle cop pulls up next to me on UNI and says "Want to race?"
Me- "I don't think you would stand a chance."
Cop says "probably not" and drives off.
