I'm going to build a '54 Buick to run in the 2010 La Carrera Pan Americana (why not? It's not like I already have four project cars). I'm going to start the build in the late summer or early fall, which should give me plenty of time to get the gasser on the track before then, Frieburger's old Duster on the rack (a rotisserie) to start writing stories about it, and the other two hulks pushed out back.
I've got a lot of questions about putting together a car for road racing--is a steering ratio quickener a good idea? Does it NEED power steering, is it a good idea or a waste to put weather stripping back around the doors, etc. etc. etc. Some of it is basic and simple stuff, but never having been around full-blown track cars very much, I thought I'd try to find a site that deals with them.
Any suggestions? I went to the Carrera site, but there aren't any forums there.
