My first racer lol a 92 VW Jetta, mid-season the track ammended the rules to read "NO VW or Sports Car versions allowed ie Toyota Celica's, VW's etc". Now this was just a starters class, I didn't have a 16 Valve motor, nor did I have a 1.8 turbo motor, it was a stock 8 valve 1.6, they even made me add 350 lbs to the car as it was a tank that won countless numbers of races, even after the drivers protested to see what was under the hood, nothing more than stock. The track said add 350 lbs to it, I agree'd so long as it could be where I want, now anyone who knows about circle track racing knows it's not how much but where, I ended up with a faster car, not having to use the brakes in the corner as it just rolled on through and then flat to the floor in the centre of the corner. My first year was cut short, I raced a full month and a half, even after taking out a main bearing in the bottom end during the first practice of the year, which had me down for a few races, add to that rain and well, looking back it was the most fun I had, and cost 8$ a night to run in fuel.
