Yeah that's your car but don't worry about it. Most of that will buff right out!

Hahaha! Well, you DO know about Mr. Buckler's "financial packaging" background, don't you? I believe he even did prison time for it well before TRG got started...

I bet there are guys that might think $155,000 is pocket change and watching "their" car on track before taking ownership for whatever reason little more than something to do.

how much wear and tear could you do in a weekend anyway? .

Alls I know is I'm not investing with anyone who even knows what a cup car looks like.

Back when PTG was running E36/E46 M3's, I remember hearing from the engine builder that the motors were 28 hour motors. 24 for the race and a little extra for practice and qualifying.

Yup - That car is going to need a complete rebuild - engine, trans/driveline, suspension - after the 24.

Many of you may not know, not to long ago this was the only way you could buy a Cup car. Porsche would only sell them to race teams and they had to commit to running the cars for a whole season. At the end of that year the teams would TRY and sell off the cars to buy next year's car that would always be faster. The year old cars did not always sell to well. Who wanted a year old car that was to slow to compete.
