Crash Test should be qualifying in the top 5 on the gridCrash Test should be qualifying in the top 5 on the grid
But aren't all the older cars "reasonably" cheap? They can be bought for 20-60K?? That doesn't seem to unreasonably for club level racing?

Well the other day, a very old Pug 405 (94/95) was being sold for $45,000. Now people do pay that much for club level cars (id say for a cheap car, you should pay $6K, that would get you the championship winning car in the geminis), but the thing is, that the upkeep on a standard club level car is much less than that of a ST. Have a look at some of the cars that dont make it past friday due to mechanical gremlins...how has Jim Cornish et al been going this year? The only team not suffering mechanical problems is Morris's, and they are easily the best funded team out there...
