Man Spends $25K Building Race Car to PB Once a Year at Same Track
October 16, 2023

"...setting a personal best lap time at my favorite track has been a dream of mine."

CORONA—One man has invested $25,000 to transform his ordinary car into a race-ready machine, all just to set a personal best lap time once a year at a single track. This automotive enthusiast's commitment to his craft exemplifies the true spirit of the car enthusiast, which is to invest heavily in parts rather than seat time.


John Anderson, the man behind this impressive project, shared his motivation, saying, "I've always had a deep love for racing, and setting a personal best lap time at my favorite track has been a dream of mine. I decided to invest in my car and make it race-ready but that didn't leave me with much money for track events."


Anderson's endeavor involved extensive modifications to his vehicle, including performance upgrades, safety enhancements, and aerodynamic improvements. The $25,000 investment may seem substantial, but for him, it's a small price to pay for the thrill of racing against the clock. Once a year. At the same track.


Racing enthusiast and fellow competitor, Sarah Johnson, commended Anderson's dedication, stating, "John's commitment to achieving his personal best is truly inspiring. He should do it more often to put an end to coming in last."


Anderson's story serves as a reminder that you don't need a multi-million-dollar race team to chase your dreams on the track. With determination, hard work, and a modest budget, one can transform an ordinary car into a race car and have just enough money left to go to the track once a year.
