$500 spending limit = pile of crap.
the rules
Fly to California, purchase crap car, fit roll cage and five point safety harness, acquire AMP competition licence - go race!

There will be several events during 2009 based on both East and West coasts of the US. We will confirm dates as soon as they are available.
