Cheap food?

Doesn't like to pay a lot for things?

Whats a cheap car that is good for racing?
not much money involved. also preferably rear wheel

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters
As just mentioned, there really is no such thing as "cheap racing." While it's certainly easy to spend alot on a car, the cost of sorting any car out and keeping fresh rubber and other details will make up the majority of your cost... and ultimately, you may find it cheaper staying away from a cheap car in favor of one that is already sorted out (I know of a major amateur team that recently justified spending $400k for a new factory car rather than spend the time and money to rebuild their existing car... otherwise identical to the new one, as it was "cheaper").

The other thing to consider is what class you intend to race in (ie, the earlier suggesting of building up a junkyard chasis and sticking in a Viper motor would mean you'd probably be running against modern, purpose built racers that would be dramatically faster than you, and require some pretty vast annual operating budgets as well in order to come in last). This is probably the most important consideration, and one to look at in relation to your skill as well.

All of that said, the two likely places to look would be:

Spec-Miata... older Miatas are inexpensive and available. They are also RWD imports, and excellent track cars. Also, as this is such a popular series, there are lots of racing options, and prepping an older Miata is easy as there are many packages offered that include all the needed parts, and much documentation on good setups (additionally, buying a car already outfitted isn't overly expensive and there are also many rental options).

Formula Vee is another good candidate. Also RWD and built mainly around old Bug parts and using purpose built chasis' - like the Miata, the low power means you must be a good and economical driver, but if you are, you can get some very good lap times out of these cars.

Both of these cars have large supplies of cheap parts, and the tires used in either series should last for a number of races... but still, annual operating budgets of each will probably be a few times the cost of the cars themselves (and don't skimp on your safety gear purchases... a good multilayer suit and helmet is essential, and the extra money for a HANS is something you'd never regret in the event you actually should need it!).

disagree, no country has as many sales and cheap ass products as the US.

Europeans buy quality.
They may not tip well, but that's just cause the tipping systems there are different and they need a little education on how to handle that when they visit the US.

It depends on what you call cheap. Id say black people are as cheap as you can get when it comes to tipping. If you can get a dollar out of most them consider yourself lucky. But then again if you are talking about buying shit like rims, cognac or jewelry, they have no problem spending as much as they have.
