I really enjoy SWC for the good close racing. I will see them at RA with ALMS.

SWC is a good way to reduce your net wealth. Last year Brian Kubinski had Lou's old World Challenge car and won $2,750.

Here's a brand new car that's just been completed and he wants $125,000 for it. Now let's see I can spend $125,00 and then win $2,700. Yea - real good decision. When the investment banks were paying $10,000,000 as an annual bonus maybe it didn't matter. Today it matters a lot.

Here's my favorite car of the week though. This is a kick-*** Fixed Roof Coupe with an impressive history for only $27,000. This one makes a lot of fiscal sense. Sure it's not a
World Challenge car (far from it) but you can take it out on the track and scare the crap out of yourself.
