    Heck, for 6 grand you can build a saturday night racer and hit the local dirt track.

    Saw one the other night that Dale, Jr, uses. He stated that he does a lot of online racing.

    My BIL purchased a nice late model for 8K last year. Not talking about an ARCA car but just a run of the mill saturday night local track hobby car. His 18 year old son ran it all season this year. Didn't win any races but he had a few second place finishes. The guy with the 6K engine won them all :-)

    I ran a junk car race twice a yr. with my wife as a passenger for about $50. a pop. Excellant for road rage being able to spin a car out or push him in the wall.....I love it....It will take awhile to reach $6000.

    I'm with you on this Cyclonus. I think they make our kids even dumber, and I proved it with my kids. I wouldn't allow one in the house anymore after I proved my theory right, and it only took a week for them to get stupid.
