I converted my 993 to track-only and I'm glad I did. It's a slippery slope, no use in fighting it.
But yes, I have a feeling you'll be trading your Jetta in. That's the only think I miss... the fun daily or weekend car.... something I'll be looking for in the coming months.
that's a great picture of your car, what track are you on?

Buy one that is ready and concentrate on driving it, there's enough to learn without trying to develop a car, which others know how to do better anyway.
very well said GUMS- additionally in today's market there are many good deals to be found in used track cars. nothing beats the mental difference that you get in a 5 point harness and a track car, versus tracking the daily driver. period.

BTDT. You will miss not having a car to tool around in sportingly. I've tried and always end up buying a Porsche of some sort. That's how I ended up with my 02 BoxsterS.
