What kind of car should I race?
This depends on personal preference. Some racers turn their street car into a race car. Some racers have a car in mind that sounds fun to race which they purchase and then modify into a race car. Some competitors prefer purpose built open cockpit or open wheel race cars. Many prefer to find a race ready car and purchase it. As a general rule, most any car can be made into a race car and there is a class for it to race in. See our Quick Guide to ICSCC Classes for more information.
