[QUOTE="Travis Munday, post: 765934, member: 52914"] I beg to differ. It all depends on what class you intend to run in. There are some classes that limit motor build-up, saving quite a bit of money. You can accomplish safety for less then $2500. About $800 for a 6-point cage, $500 for a good seat and harness (both SFI/FIA aprroved), $400 for a fire system, then the rest in a helmet and 2-layer suit plus underwear. Not to mention I'm building a racer and have ran all the numbers and I'm not even up to $18K. Granted, I'm missing a few parts, but does include a new motor and transmission, build up of the motor, all new suspension components, etc, basically only thing remaining stock would be the body shell and dash, as required by rule. Racing isn't cheap, but it doesn't have to be expensive either. There are plenty of classes by different sanctioning bodies that are designed with budgets in mind. [/QUOTE]
