We’re going Sprint Car Racing

2023 started out with an idea of going Sprint Car racing but not much more than that. We started looking for rolling chassis and engines because there wasn't many full packages available in our price range (spoiler alert: for reasons). Reality was there wasn't much on the market at all. Everybody I talked to trying to shake something loose couldn't believe the state of the market. Finally we got a line on one out in New York, as well as an engine we were able to get lined up to pickup in PA. Loaded up the trailer and left home around 5am. When we walked into the garage and the car was sitting there, it occurred to me I didn't actually know what a Sprint car actually looked like... So I hoped we were buying something reasonable. As luck would have it, the seat they had fit Alex nicely so we were one step closer. Loaded the car up and headed to PA, picked up the engine around 9pm with a few spare wheels and some odds and ends. Rolled back home around 3am, pretty full day. Next day we got the car out and started to feel the gravity of the decisions. It fits in the garage (barely), now what?
