Good for you. As despicable as car modifying culture is it's not really applicable here. Very few people actually race cars and very few of the improvements that can easily be switched from car to car would make a huge difference at a scca event. With bikes the price of used aero wheels has skyrocketed. And these make a huge difference to even a midrange racer like myself. The abused classics may have some sort of analog with cars. How would you feel about a 240z(insert not insanely rare but still classic car of your choice) in a demolition derby?
