Not trying to be a smart a$$, but why not work on YOU be faster first. Learn about the race car, make it very reliable, to be able to finish races and log learning laps. Learn about set ups, how to scale a car, moving the weights around for proper percentages to obtain better handling. How to set up a front suspension to make the car turn better. Right now this will give you faster lap times. Do not just spend a bunch of money to buy something you think will make you faster and you will not be. ALL of us racers do not want to see a new guy get discouraged and quit because he a ran out of money with no success. We want to see this sport grow. Spend your money wisely.
