We run a 86 mustang v8. Heavy and suck gas like crazy. We took our penalty laps on the chin as we knew we had a car worth more than $500. Plenty of cars out there that do not come even close to being worth $500. It is common people to cheat on the Av's. Basically people make a fake craiglist add and run it for a day print it and then do several more just like it in different states. At the end of the day they are the ones that look like a douche nozzle. But they are having fun.

In particular is the BMW e30? that we raced against at road america last year. It was funny becasue they started with zero penalty laps and won several races.

Road america is running two races this year and we are going to be at both. Hopefully we can find a different car to build this winter as I don't like the penalty laps.

also big thing to consider as we got stung by it when we fixed up the mustang. Even if it has been in a wreck and you spent $100 for the car that is not what matters. This is what we thought when we bought ours. It not what its worth wrecked so much as what the average one on the street is worth.
