Talking with my wife over the weekend and shared that I really want to get back into drag racing. It was a big part of my life growing up both helping my dad and racing myself in jr dragsters and then the family race car. I hope one of my girls takes an interest in it, but we'll see how they turn out.
Then college happens, dad loses interest, then house, marriage, babies, etc.
While I would love to jump into a 7 second door car, I don't have that kind of cash to drop on anything. But the fun it would be to start with a bone stock car and race it, break it, put something bigger in.
So I day dreamed a little this morning, actually being realistic. Found a 4th gen Camaro, V6, 5 speed for $2500. Seems like a nice platform to start with, tons of aftermarket support for chassis and power. Kind of like the challenge of bracket racing a stick car as I've only shifted a powerglide on the track before.
