    If you are looking for ideas check:

    Target550.com

    Budget unlimited build, several things are bleeding edge state of the art, some are dated somewhat due to the duration of the build effort.

    These are some of the most talented people on the planet at what they do, and it's taken them the better part of a decade with no funding limitations (or at least nothing any of us would call "funding limitations").

    Based on your first post.. I thought you wouldn't be able to pull it off and were just another brainless fool.

    Based on the 3 I quoted above, I think you're going to break a record. Maybe not next year, but quite possibly before you are the age of many of the nay-sayers on here.

    Just ignore the nay-sayers, take their input and filter out the concerns, often there is a kernel of truth.

    Get all the help you can, work for some other racing teams, get advise learn, learn, learn and you'll make this happen.

    On the ever present English language police on here, just ignore them, I get blasted sometimes to; I'm dyslexic, speak 6+ languages and didn't learn English until I was an adult, but a simple spelling error gets people in a tizzy. If people want to give you a hard time about something, let them they'll always find something.

    I happen to be in charge of marketing and communications for a very large company and sometimes in a position to sponsor people.. you're on the right track, just don't call me yet.

    good luck. ill be 37 next month.. and one thing iv noticed about my self as i have aged.. which could be used to generalize us all or maybe not laughs.... and its just a self study on my own behavior.. ill make a open ended statement here.. "the older i get the smaller my dreams become." this is a direct result of part of me keeping it real as the saying goes.. and knowing my limitations. unfortunately, this also makes one narrow minded.. as in the past i would try and do anything.. ( i still try for the most part, but a lot of self doubt with new hobbies iv noticed even when compared to just 5 years ago)... Young man chase your desires/dreams/women.., even if they change from day to day.. life is way to short.. live it. and i wish you the best of luck in anything you put your effort too. when they say jack of trades master of non.. really sums me up and all the hobbies iv tried over the years. from building video game machines, to hand forging knives, to building archery longbows, to sewing, basket weaving, throwing clay to make some ancient eqyption style pottery, ok that was done on a dare and i did make 50.0 one of the few hobbies that i made money on instead of spending.. o yeah rc air planes was a fun hobbie i can recommend to you young man would teach you about some aerodynamics while you chasing Bonneville plus its a lot of fun to dog fight with your frineds, just keep the paint guns off the planes and you will probably get in less trouble ,sorry for my random babbling from a soon to be over the hill kid.

    P.S
    This could have absolutely nothing to do with getting older and just the side effects of all the narcotics im on and the motorcycle accident that created the need for the drugs in the first place.. ill keep it simple.. follow through man, chase them tails down, and pin them to the wall. rock on.
