Talking with SLOWPOKE693 the other day really got me thinking about dirt track. I'm in the process now of rebuilding the 4500 Ultra4 Comanche, but I've daydreamed about getting back into dirt track racing. There's a few tracks within a couple hours of my house and seems to be pretty healthy fields. back about 10-12 years ago I briefly got into 305 Race Savers and Mini Sprints for a little bit, but I was working offshore and rarely was able to make any of the sprint races so i ended up selling both cars. Really enjoyed them, but realize there's a pretty high risk involved with racing open wheel. I'm still super enticed by 305 RaceSavers, but I want to pick yall's brains about Street Stocks, and modifieds. My thought is that by the time i spend modified money, i'd much rather be back in a Sprint, but if i can spend 5-10k on a street stock ready to race and go out and have fun every weekend i feel like racing, it'd totally be worth it. What do you guys recommend as far as street stock class (hobby, limited, outlaw, factory seem to be some of the classes i've seen). For Modifieds it seems like if i went that route I'd want a Sport Mod, seems like that's the "cheapest" modified option.
TLDR version - i want to race 305 racesavers again, but don't want to invest the 20-30k for an average level car right now, is it worthwhile getting into a street stock and if so, what class should i aim for.
