Need advise on what to Race???

[RusherRacing]

Ok i am stuck in a dilema,

In a few weeks I am registered to run the SORC its a high speed race across the Sandhills in NE. I was planning on running the eclipse. However after learning more about the car, and having all the carnage early on this season it has left my pocket book a little light and I still need to get stuff updated to make it legal to run in one of the top classes.

I figure i got two options.
1) run the eclipse in GT 115 mph (135 tech) Cost $475 (already paid)
We need firesuits, gloves, nomex underwear, fire extinguisher(need either option), need to make a cover over the fuel cell, mount another seat, and I should get new tires. then keep my fingers crossed everything else correct. Also do the track day at MPH on Wed. ($100) If we brake we do option 2 except for driving back to lincoln or omaha to find tires early thursday morning.

2) run the Silverado SS in Touring 90 mph (110 tech) Cost $375 (get a $100 refund)
We need new tires and fire extinguisher. I could tow the eclipse down and run it at the track day, and then run the truck the rest of the weekend. Benefits are the truck has A/C don't need to do all the conversion on the eclipse to enter the race, and we don't have to buy safety equipment.

What would you do considering I will have to pay for additional expenses over the winter? Help?
Spend the money on tires for the SSS, or take the time and get the eclipse done up correctly???

If you fork out and get the DSM prepared, you will be set up for similar events in the future.

Get a complete refund and use it to run more NASA events. SORC is just a timing event anyway. You don't have a prayer running against the computers.
