Does anyone know a good site for info on Sedan/Stock C Racing? (Civics,Proteges, Integras etc) Just watching it on Speedvision and am seriously thinking about getting into it and looking for info. Thanks in advance.

 

You may want to come over to the competition area first of all. Next, try this site:
http://www.scca.org

Finally, if you've never autocrossed (even a few times), you have no idea what "real" road racing is going to be like! It most certainly isn't like street racing, which I and almost everybody in the competition page are totally AGAINST!!! You'll need to get a racing license, renew and maintain it each year by entering "x" number of races, and last but not least getting a car. Which don't be fooled because you think you can pick up a Protege (the current hot ticket in SSC) for $14,000 and go racing. The cost of prepping the car and buying $pares is outrageous!
The option exists to rent cars already prepped for $howroom $tock, but that can get real pricey as well for the weekend... Just don't wreck the car!

In case you haven't noticed, the underlying theme here is MONEY and LOTS OF IT..... Even at the amateur level.

This is why I have stuck to autocrossing on both the local and Pro/National level. And both are millions of times more exciting than drag or street racing.

honda93 just about summed it up for you

 

You'll be having to own three cars too.
The car you race at the track.
The car you'll drive everyday.
And the truck you'll use to tow your race car to the track.

I guess a truck could be used as your everyday car but yuck!!!
You'll end up doing so many mods to the race car that it will no longer be street legal. Just stick with autocrossing. It's much cheaper.
