Jay and I had this discussion a few years ago on the way to Sebring from Atlanta.
It started out with "How do we save the country", and after about 2 minutes of our diametrically opposed viewpoints and 10 minutes of silence
, Jay says "OK, How do we save SCCA?"
The ideas that started pouring out of both our heads and mouths were many, and as you can guess COST was the main point.
We thought a total cost of $19,995, which could be split by a pair of people, would be a realistic cost point, and the vehicle, btw an open wheel car w/ no wings, should be powered by a real workhorse of a very available bike motor - a 1300cc 'Busa.
As happens with things like this, life gets in the way, and the project was back burnered after a bit.
