Yes my budget would be under $10000 and I would like to drive soomething a
little more enclosed and with a differential not locked. It seems that
Formula Vee is the rught thing to do. They seem to be fast, and spare parts
should not be a problem.

I wander if there are any other thinks like FV. Like something with an old
Ford or Opel (Vauxhall) engine with some 100Hp, and spared that are a bit
more modern, therefore more accessable here in God forsaken Croatia!

Anyway, thanks guys this FV really oppened my eyes. You actually CAN go away
from your computer and do some real racing either in karts or FV's it seems.
Now, if only my wife would go for it :))

If you budget is under $10K, perhaps you should consider racing

Domagoj--

Formula Vee was --maybe still is -- very big in Germany (gee, I wonder
why?). You might try looking at German racing clubs on the Net; there
must be a huge supply of the old crocks floating around over there.
Don't know if they'd let you, but I'm sure it would be a stone groove to
whack an FV around the original Nrburgring...
