Of course I'm going to need about a half day in it to see what it needs.

On a more serious note, you will probably need a set of shocks, springs and bars for each track. And they have to be spot on. That's the side of racing that I never enjoyed.

I could live pretty well on just the tire budget.
This particular car was owned and driven by Russ Romer who always ran up front. He is 69 and started at 12, and has driven everything from go carts, speed boats, Can am cars, Porsches act.
The car came off the track 2 years ago and went into storage, 4 hour engine. The west coast tracks I plan on running are Portland, Sears Point, Laguna, CA speed and Coronado. He never changes springs, or bars, shocks maybe. most adj are wedge, tire pressure, camber caster and toe and weight. We have the scales and set up sheets.
We do everything in house. I have spare jericos, rear gears too. so the plan is to put in the willow set up and do multiple test sessions till I learn the car and do the big bore bash at willow in November
