Hi all,
I am Anthony and am new to the PNW.
Trying to get into road racing here and am interested in a spec class. Currently thinking about Spec E46.
I am shopping for a ready-to-go race car. Looking for tips and pointers on things I should consider in the buying process.
Besides getting the race car, I also need to consider a place to store it and perhaps doing some maintenance work. I was able to find a couple places from reading some older threads and the internet. If you know of some places, please share with me! It would be the best if it is on the track since I don't have a truck and trailer. and my Honda Odyssey is not good for towing. If it is not on track, I am thinking about renting a u-haul with a car trailer for the race weekends.
Some background. I have done several seasons of road racing before. I took a long break due to young kids and then I moved here. Used to doing most basic maintenance work like brakes, suspensions myself when I had a garage. But I live in an apartment now so working on cars are not possible. I lived in the Seattle/Bellevue area. Pacific Raceways is closest to me (~45 mins) and The Ridge is about 2 hours.
If I am not able to buy a car, I still hope to rent one for a weekend and go racing this year. Keeping my fingers crossed!
