There are many classes that can be cost effective from a car perspective, Vee being one of them, where you can build and own a car for a very reasonable sum.
Vee is actually one of the very few classes that COULD be low cost but there are some issues that would have to change to get me back to Vee and disc brakes is NOT one of them.
Brian and I will keep trying to race as that is what we do, but I see the SCCA becoming a sport for the very wealthy in the future and that is a sad state of affairs.
