The result is they get classified with Ariel Atoms and McLarens and just get destroyed every weekend. Not fun!

Go to the local track, find the active class with guys you would like to race with and build to the rule book. If you drive well you have a good chance of winning.
+1 Excellent advice! Couldn't have said it better.
