Decisions, Decisions

With the upcoming 2010 racing season beginning in April, I keep wondering what I’m going to do. Will I be able to race this year? Will I be working flags this year? Do I have enough money? Do I continue prepping and building the E30? Do I get it ready to sell? Do I track the WRX again for now? Is it worth selling the E30 or would I lose out on a lot of money? Right now, I have no idea what the answers are to these questions.

I sold my 240 last year and bought an E30 with the goal to race in the Spec E30 class with NASA. I loved my 240 but I would’ve been in a class where nobody was ever really going to be. It’d just be me. In order to be in a class where more were racing I would’ve had to make the car faster. I just saw myself digging myself into this hole where I would always want to do something to the car. So I figured Spec E30 would limit me. I would have to follow the rules and be limited to the modifications I could do. Therefore, I wouldn’t be continually spending money in order to make the car faster or whatever else.

Now I sit here wondering if I’m even going to be able to race. I still have a lot of work to do to the car in order to be race ready. This requires money, which I don’t have a lot of. Plus, since I don’t have a way of towing the car, I’d have to drive it to the track. If anything breaks, I have no transportation. Sure, I could still do track days as opposed to racing but I could also do track days in my WRX.

I’m weighing the pros and cons and I still have no clear decision. I probably won’t for a while. I just wish I were rich or had the money to be able to be fine keeping the E30 and building it and not have to worry.
