The problem is that the beast, being a convertible, could be pretty tough to get it fully prepped (including rollcage) for dedicated track use.
My options are:
1. Follow my original plan 'A' (do what I can with the 'vette) - not sell the 'vette, update to a 6-point rollbar, maybe buy a hard top, suspension upgrade and then autocross/track within the limits of the 6-point. or: ?
Andy, you don't need a full cage to go on track for HPDE, a 4 point rollbsr, full hoop with cross support and 2 rear facing support legs will pass tech. You could even compete in Time Trials with the 4 point. A full cage is only required for wheel to wheel roadracing.
I'm an SCCA Chief of Tech, BTW.
The 4 point would have to be built to the correct specs though, tube diameter & wall thickness.
A Miate is inexpensive unless you want to race it W2W and win, then the motor price is huge. But, You'll be dissappointed when you hit the gas pedal.
